Reading this window

The projection called for MACD to fall across the window, and it fell. The projection overshot: it called for 1.88 times the distance the market actually travelled. Bar to bar, 69% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 24 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 (2:28 PM ET), where they sat 0.0133406 apart, and furthest at bar 11 (2:22 PM ET) with a gap of 28.0305. The largest single-bar change in the recorded values came at bar 28 (2:39 PM ET), a move of +8.87883. 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.
