Reading this window

The projection called for MACD to fall, while it rose instead. The projection overshot: it called for 1.94 times the distance the market actually travelled. Bar to bar, 69% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 20 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 18 (9:14 PM ET), where they sat 1.25478 apart, and furthest at bar 9 (9:06 PM ET) with a gap of 33.2022. The largest single bar change in the recorded values came at bar 19 (9:16 PM ET), a move of +10.8082. 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.
