The daily reading
· Completed daily candles · Default settings
At the 2026-09-07 UTC close, the reading was 78,325.8. The previous available reading was 78,311.4. This price average reacts faster to a clear move and slower to back-and-forth changes. The selected period is 10 daily candles.
Daily value: $78,325.84. Rising.
This dated summary is calculated once after the daily close. Changing the live chart’s interval or settings does not rewrite it.
A dated Bitcoin example
On , Bitcoin Adaptive Moving Average read 78,325.84 on completed daily candles, using Kaufman adaptive average · fast 2 · period 10 · slow 30. This is the dated default calculation; a different candle interval answers a different question.
What does this reading describe?
A smooth move can make the line respond faster, while repeated reversals can make it smooth more heavily. Compare the two algorithms as distinct methods.
How is it calculated?
Kaufman’s efficiency ratio divides the absolute net change over 10 candles by the sum of absolute candle-to-candle changes. It interpolates between 2- and 30-period smoothing limits. MAMA uses fast and slow phase-response limits.
Shared calculation conventionsWhat does a worked example look like?
A net move of $1,000 after travelling $5,000 back and forth has an efficiency ratio of 0.2. A direct $1,000 move with no reversals has a ratio of 1.
What does this mean for you?
Adaptive does not mean the settings are optimal or learned from future outcomes. MESA especially depends on the exact phase and initialization conventions.
How does it compare?
A standard EMA uses a fixed response coefficient. Adaptive averages change that coefficient using the observed price pattern.

Where it stands today
At the 2026-09-07 UTC close, the reading was 78,325.8. The previous available reading was 78,311.4. This price average reacts faster to a clear move and slower to back-and-forth changes. The selected period is 10 daily candles. as of .
Adaptive averages alter their response using properties of recent prices. Kaufman’s average compares a net move with the total distance travelled; MESA uses a price-cycle phase estimate.
