No better than chance23
Once you allow for how many studies were run, a gap this large is luck about 74% of the time, so this signal has told you nothing reliable about the following week.
By holding period
| After | Cases | Higher | Median move | Middle half | Ordinary median | Gap | By luck | Proof score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 day | 10 | 60% | +1.2% | −3.6% to +4.3% | 0.0% | +1.2% | 64% | 22 |

| 7 days | 10 | 30% | −4.6% | −6.2% to −0.2% | −0.8% | −3.8% | 74% | 23 |
| 14 days | 10 | 20% | −9.7% | −12.4% to −1.9% | −2.3% | −7.5% | 68% | 25 |

“Ordinary median” is the median move of IOTA over the same number of days starting from any day. “Gap” is the signal's median minus the ordinary one. “By luck” is how often a gap at least that large comes from randomly chosen days, corrected for the 3,572 studies run at each holding period (for this study taken alone: 31%).
Holding it for 7 days
Dips and best points use each day's low and high, measured from the close on the signal day. Costs assume 0.3% for a round trip: a 0.1% exchange fee each way and 0.05% slippage each way.
Every occurrence
One square per occurrence, oldest first. Green: higher 7 days later. Red: lower. Grey: not yet 7 days old.

The rule
50-day moving average closes above the 200-day moving average after being below it. The 50-day average crossing above the 200-day average is one of the most publicised bullish signals in any market.
Occurrences closer than 7 days to the previous one are not counted again. The signal is confirmed at the daily close (00:00 UTC) and returns are measured from that close. Full method.
Other IOTA signals
New signals are sealed in the public ledger at the daily close. Members see them immediately; everyone else sees them a day later.
