The projection called for MACD to rise across the window, and it rose. The market travelled further than projected — the projection covered only 0.63 times the realised distance. Bar to bar, 72% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 28 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.
The two paths were closest at bar 9 (4:10 PM ET), where they sat 0.855927 apart, and furthest at bar 27 (4:29 PM ET) with a gap of 15.4187. The largest single-bar change in the recorded values came at bar 7 (4:09 PM ET), a move of +8.93431. The projected and recorded paths crossed at least once inside the window.
Six points sampled across the 30 bars, showing the projected value, the value that printed, and the difference between them.

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.
