Bitcoin Power Law Clock
By LuxAlgoJun 20, 2025
The Bitcoin Power Law Clock winds Bitcoin's entire price history around a 12-hour spiral, turning Giovanni Santostasi's power-law model into a clock you can read. Price and average lines spiral outward while a hand points at the current position, and the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock marks correspond to the key phases of Bitcoin's macro cycle, historically aligning with tops, mid-cycle consolidations, bottoms, and early rallies. It is designed for the daily Bitcoin all-time-history index, which its time-based structure requires.
How to Trade the Bitcoin Power Law Clock?
- Hand position: the clock time is the cycle read. A hand around 10:20, as in the reference example, suggests the late stages of an upward cycle heading toward a top.
- Quarter marks: 12, 3, 6, and 9 flag the transitions between topping, consolidation, bottoming, and early-cycle conditions.
- Halving markers: past and upcoming halvings sit on the spiral, anchoring the cadence the model is built around.
- Dashboard: an optional time-and-price summary keeps the current reading pinned to a corner of the chart.
Every visual layer (spirals, curved rendering, hand, price scales, hour labels) toggles independently, so the display scales from a full instrument panel down to a minimal dial.
