Reading this window

The projection called for MACD to rise across the window, and it rose. The projection overshot: it called for 1.35 times the distance the market actually travelled. Bar to bar, 83% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 25 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 25 (12:06 PM ET), where they sat 1.34049 apart, and furthest at bar 4 (11:46 AM ET) with a gap of 10.8676.

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 Micro E-mini Nasdaq 100 activity rather than a single print.
