Understand where the market stands: BitcoinIQ distills all 20 indicators into your Cycle Position — the market maps to one of five navigation zones, each describing where the market sits in the cycle.
Your free trial unlocks your daily Cycle Factor — plus all 20 indicators behind it, each with its own AI analysis, updated daily (Macro & Pulse Index included).
Your Cycle Position reads where the market sits across all 20 indicators. Each zone characterizes the current environment.
On-chain valuation at historically depressed levels — deep in Winter
Market internals leaning supportive — warming toward Spring
Mixed signals — no clear directional bias
On-chain valuation elevated — cycle indicators in extended territory
On-chain valuation at historically extreme levels — most stretched readings
Out-of-sample, vs. fixed monthly DCA.
Sizing your monthly buys by Cycle Position — more when the market's depressed, less when it's stretched — accumulated about 42% more Bitcoin than buying the same dollar amount every month. The signal does two things: it tells you when to stack, and it tells you to stack hardest in Winter, when valuation is most depressed. Timing alone accounts for about 27 of those points; stacking harder into the lows (~12% more capital) delivers the rest. Both are the Cycle Factor. Hold total spend equal to a fixed plan and timing alone still accounts for ~27% more Bitcoin — measured over data the method was never tuned on.
The most common way a backtest misleads you is hindsight — quietly tuning a strategy to past data until it looks perfect (“curve-fitting”). We built this to rule it out: we locked our method and timestamped it publicly before testing, so we couldn't peek at the answers and tweak it to fit. It then held up on years it was never tuned on.
Past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
Never stop stacking — just stack smarter.
The model stacks more in the High Opportunity zone (Winter, typically near cycle lows) and less in the Extended zone (Summer, typically near cycle highs).
Every row below is the signal our live engine produced out-of-sample — on data the method was never tuned on — and what happened next.
No cherry-picked winners. This is every signal the engine has fired — including the months it turned defensive and Bitcoin kept climbing anyway. Pre-registered before testing; nothing added, deleted, or relabeled in hindsight.

Out-of-sample record, Jul 2022 – present (~one Bitcoin cycle). Past performance does not guarantee future results. This framework is for educational purposes and should not be considered financial advice.
Where Bitcoin sits in its cycle: Winter (lows) → Spring (recovery) → Summer (highs) → Autumn (cooling). A four-season compass, not a price prediction.
Where on-chain valuation reads across the cycle — from High Opportunity (historically depressed) to Highly Extended (historically stretched). Distilled from all 20 indicators.
The multiplier on your regular buy. 2.0x in historically depressed conditions, 1.0x neutral, tapering toward 0.5x as valuation extends. Never stop stacking — just stack smarter.
This is a Framework, Not a Trading Signal
Cycle Position helps understand the current environment but does not predict exact tops or bottoms. Markets can remain in any position longer than expected. Use it for context, not timing.
