HMA Distance 20 (M1)Trend

Timeframe M1 · unit %

What it measures

How far the current close sits above or below its 20-bar Hull Moving Average - a construction that applies a square-root-length EMA to a weighted combination of EMAs, dramatically reducing lag while preserving smoothness.

How Janira reads it (bullish vs bearish)

The HMA reacts faster than the EMA and much faster than the SMA, yet stays cleaner than a raw price. Gaps above +0.2 % or below −0.2 % on M1 are already informative.

In plain language

The HMA is like a moving average that has been aerodynamically streamlined - it follows price closely without the wobble of faster alternatives. This number measures how far price has drifted from that streamlined tracker.

Scenarios

• Positive gap: price is holding above its HMA - the average fast-adapting trend line confirms an upward lean.
• Negative gap: price is persistently below its HMA - even this fast-reacting average confirms ongoing downward pressure.
• Gap quickly reverting to zero: the HMA has caught up, or price pulled back sharply - the short-term drift has largely corrected.
• Oscillating small positive/negative without settling: the HMA and price are dancing closely - no dominant trend at M1 granularity.
