La línea avance-descenso (ADL) es un indicador clave de la amplitud del mercado que mide el número de valores que avanzan frente a los que retroceden a lo largo del tiempo. En lugar de centrarse únicamente en el precio, la ADL proporciona una visión más profunda de la amplitud con la que se apoya un movimiento del mercado, un dato valioso a la hora de evaluar la fuerza o la debilidad de los repuntes y las ventas.

How It Works
Each day, the ADL takes the difference between advancing and declining stocks, and adds it to the previous day’s ADL value.
This creates a cumulative line that rises or falls depending on how many stocks are participating in a move.

How to Interpret It
Rising ADL: Suggests broad market participation—a healthy and sustainable rally
Falling ADL: Indicates declining participation—a broad-based selloff or internal weakness
Divergences: If the index is rising but the ADL is falling, it could signal a weakening rally with fewer stocks driving the gains, potentially leading to a reversal

How to Use It in FX Replay
Use the ADL to confirm trends detected by price action or other indicators
Look for divergence between price and ADL to spot possible trend exhaustion or reversal setups
Combine with volume-based tools or momentum indicators to strengthen your backtesting logic
