Reading this window

The projection called for MACD to rise across the window, and it rose. The two moves were close in size: the projection covered 0.87 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 5 (1:04 PM ET), where they sat 1.24378 apart, and furthest at bar 0 (1:00 PM ET) with a gap of 36.9867. The largest single-bar change in the recorded values came at bar 2 (1:02 PM ET), a move of +13.9778. 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.
