EMA Cross 9/21 (M1)Trend

Timeframe M1 · unit %

What it measures

The gap between a fast 9-bar EMA and a slower 21-bar EMA, normalized as a percentage of their midpoint. Captures whether near-term momentum is running ahead of or behind the medium-term flow.

How Janira reads it (bullish vs bearish)

A positive value means the fast EMA sits above the slow one (momentum favors up). Negative means the slow EMA is on top (momentum favors down). The magnitude reveals how wide the spread has grown.

In plain language

Imagine two runners on a track: a sprinter (9-EMA) and a middle-distance runner (21-EMA). This number shows whether the sprinter is ahead or behind, and by how much.

Scenarios

• Near zero: the two EMAs are converging or have just crossed - no established short-term directional edge.
• Positive and widening: the fast average is pulling ahead; the recent bars are consistently stronger than the medium-term baseline.
• Negative and narrowing: the fast EMA is catching up from below - downward pressure is easing but has not reversed.
• Extreme positive followed by sharp drop: the spread that built up is collapsing, a sign that the pace of recent buying is fading relative to the medium-term picture.
