Reading this window

The projection called for MACD to rise across the window, and it rose. The projection overshot: it called for 1.86 times the distance the market actually travelled. Bar to bar, 66% 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 16 (7:26 PM ET), where they sat 0.16501 apart, and furthest at bar 23 (7:34 PM ET) with a gap of 64.733. The largest single-bar change in the recorded values came at bar 20 (7:31 PM ET), a move of +27.3704. The projected and recorded paths crossed at least once inside the window.

About MACD on a 1-minute chart

MACD tracks the distance between two exponential moving averages of price; the line above moves as that distance widens or narrows. 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.
