ATR is not a directional indicator, such as MACD or RSI. Instead, ATR is a unique volatility indicator that reflects the degree of interest or disinterest in a move.

ATR can be used to validate the enthusiasm behind a move or breakout.

A bullish reversal with an increase in ATR would show strong buying pressure and reinforce the reversal.
