Created by @therationalroot, the Bitcoin Spiral Clock maps recurring market patterns through a unique spiral design centered on Bitcoin’s four-year halving cycle.

As Bitcoin goes mainstream, understanding these long-term trends is crucial. This article breaks down the Spiral Clock and how investors and analysts can use it.

Core Concepts Behind Bitcoin Spiral Clock Model

The Bitcoin Spiral Clock Model maps Bitcoin’s price in a spiral tied to its four-year halving cycle, a core feature of its economic design that cuts new supply every four years.

Each halving year (2012, 2016, 2020, 2024) is marked by a concentric circle. Within each cycle, the model highlights three key points: halving events, price bottoms, and all-time highs.

By arranging these events in a spiral, the model reveals Bitcoin’s repeating patterns of surges, corrections, and consolidations, making long-term trends easier to grasp at a glance.

How Time and Market Behavior Intersect in the Spiral Clock

The Spiral Clock Model doesn’t just plot halving events and price points; it aligns market behavior with time. Each circle marks a four-year cycle, with time spiraling outward from the center.

This format reveals how major events such as tops, bottoms, and halvings consistently fall within each cycle. It strips out short-term noise and spotlights long-term patterns.

The model shows that all-time highs often cluster near halvings, while corrections and bottoms tend to appear in the second half of each cycle. It offers a striking view of market psychology in motion.
