RSI Indicator:

Additional Analysis: RSI is somewhat oversold (RSI is at 45.94). However, this by itself isn't a strong enough indication to signal a trade. Look for additional evidence here before getting too bullish here.
ADX Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: ADX measures the strength of the prevailing trend. A rising ADX indicates a strong underlying trend while a falling ADX suggests a weakening trend which is subject to reversal. Currently the ADX is falling.
Additional Analysis: The long term trend, based on a 45 bar moving average, is down. A falling ADX indicates that the current trend is weakening and may possibly reverse. Look for a choppy market ahead.
Comm Channel Index Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: CCI (-93.82) is in neutral territory. A signal is generated only when the CCI crosses above or below the neutral center region.
Additional Analysis: CCI often misses the early part of a new move because of the large amount of time spent out of the market in the neutral region. Initiating signals when CCI crosses zero, rather than waiting for CCI to cross out of the neutral region can often help overcome this. Given this interpretation, CCI (-93.82) is currently short. The current short position will be reversed when the CCI crosses above zero.
