MACD measures the distance between two moving averages of price, so it describes momentum shifting rather than price itself. This page reports what it actually read on Ethereum 5 minute charts — not what it is supposed to do, but the distribution of 25,851 recorded values over the last 90 days.

How this was measured
Every 5 minute bar of Ethereum recorded in the last 90 days was read, and the values grouped without smoothing or filtering. Series with fewer than 400 readings are omitted rather than shown on thin evidence. These are recorded values, not predictions.
