6E 60-Minute MACD: Prediction vs What Actually Happened, September 23 2026 7:00 PM ET

Educational reference. Data through Friday, September 25, 2026 at 12:00 AM ET. Measured from a recorded prediction and recorded market data — a historical window for learning purposes, not a prediction and not trading advice.

MACD tracks the distance between two moving averages of price, so it describes momentum shifting rather than price itself. At 7:00 PM ET on Wednesday, September 23, LiveCharts.AI predicted where MACD would go over the next 29 60-minute bars of Euro FX. The second chart shows the MACD values the market actually produced over the same window. Both panels share one scale, so the shapes can be compared directly.

How this page is selected

Four measurements on the MACD line have to agree for a window to be shown. Per-bar direction asks, for each interval, whether the prediction and the actual reading moved the same way — here 75.9%. Same side asks whether both stayed on the same side of the starting value — here 93.1%. Size compares how far each travelled — here 1.18×. Shape measures how closely the two lines follow each other overall — here 0.98, where 1.00 would be identical. All four have to pass; agreeing on direction while badly missing the size or the shape is not a match.

What it does and does not say

This is one recorded window, selected because the paths agreed. It is not a typical result, not an average, and not a claim about future accuracy. The prediction shown here had fully matured before this page was written, and was compared against recorded market data after the fact. Live predictions are part of the LiveCharts.AI platform and are not published here.
