LiveCharts.AI projecting MACD and price forward on a live chart.
What this reading is
MACD tracks the relationship between two moving averages of price, so it describes momentum shifting rather than price itself. Forecasting it means projecting where that momentum relationship is heading. On directional accuracy this ranks 2 of 5 readings on this chart, in line with the median of 60.0%.
Why the timeframe changes the read
The same forecast reads differently depending on the chart you act on. A slower frame sets context; a faster one decides timing. Crude Oil on the 5-minute chart is one view of MACD, and comparing it against the other frames below is usually more useful than any single number.
How the forecast is produced
Rather than only plotting what has already happened, LiveCharts.AI projects the next 30 bars forward — for price and for each indicator you have enabled. The projected path and the live direction are generated inside the platform for whichever chart you have open.
