Bitcoin Power-Law Clock and Cycle Spiral Visualization

Summary

This indicator turns Bitcoin’s historical price and time series into a clock-like spiral visualization. It is restricted to the BTCUSD all-history index on the daily timeframe. The script collects closing prices and timestamps, smooths log-transformed prices with a forward and backward EMA process, and uses those values to draw price, average, and forecast spirals. Controls adjust visibility, colors, curvature, scaling, labels, and a time-and-price dashboard.

The visualization marks Bitcoin halving dates and divides a nominal four-year cycle into clock positions, assigning narrative labels to cycle phases. These elements offer a way to inspect historical price structure and cyclical timing, but the document provides no statistical validation, forecasting accuracy, or trading rules. The spiral’s shape depends on its scaling and smoothing choices, and historical cycle patterns do not establish that future price movements will follow the same path. It is best understood as an exploratory charting concept rather than a tested signal.

Key ideas

• The indicator plots Bitcoin price history as a spiral organized around an assumed four-year cycle.
• It smooths logarithmic closing prices to produce an average spiral and displays time and price information in a dashboard.
• Halving dates and labeled clock positions provide cycle landmarks and phase interpretations.
• The tool is restricted to the BTCUSD all-history index and daily charts.
• The document presents no statistical validation or forecast results, so the spiral is exploratory rather than a verified trading signal.
