Reading this window

The projection called for Average True Range to rise across the window, and it rose. The projection overshot: it called for 1.51 times the distance the market actually travelled. Bar to bar, 72% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 29 of the 30 bars finished on the projected side of the opening reading. One window is a single observation, not a pattern; it is published here so the projection and the outcome can be checked against each other.

How the window developed

The two paths were closest at bar 28 (11:57 AM ET), where they sat 2.80974 apart, and furthest at bar 15 (11:45 AM ET) with a gap of 7.01937. The largest single bar change in the recorded values came at bar 15 (11:45 AM ET), a move of -1.16741. The projected path stayed on one side of the recorded values for the whole window.

About Average True Range on a 1 minute chart

Average True Range measures how much ground a market covers per bar. It describes volatility, not direction, so a rising ATR means wider bars rather than higher prices. On the 1 minute timeframe a 30 bar projection covers 30 minutes of trading, so the window above describes 30 minutes of BTCUSD activity rather than a single print.
