Is The 4-Year Cycle Dead? Read The Argument
A new free visual essay that builds the cycle-versus-liquidity argument in one scroll-driven chart, on live data.

Alpha Factory updates can mention product signals, indicators, or portfolio workflows. They are educational product context, not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.
Everyone has an opinion on whether Bitcoin's 4-year cycle still works. Almost nobody shows you the data behind their answer. So I built the page that does.
It walks you through the argument one scroll at a time:
- The October 2025 top landed on day 1,162 from the previous cycle low, inside the historical window. So the timing still works. The size does not.
- 2014 and 2026 are the two years that break the "Bitcoin follows factory demand" story: the Macro Pulse climbed while Bitcoin fell hard
- The hash ribbon, the miner-capitulation signal, laid over the same timeline
- Three scenarios for where the low sits, each with a probability, plus a speculative window and target zone for the next top
- The numbers on the page read live data. And the opinion parts carry an expiry date: if Bitcoin leaves the price range those scenarios were written for, or the pulse falls out of its top decile, the page tells you the judgment is stale instead of quietly looking current.
