What is the BlockPulse Analytics Score?
A number between -100 and +100 that summarizes which phase of the cycle the Bitcoin market is in (accumulation or distribution), calculated by combining several on-chain and market indicators with verifiable data, including our own Bitcoin node.

Are the Score's weights public?
No, and that's deliberate. We publish which indicators make it up, what each one measures, and where the data comes from -- but we withhold the exact weight of each one and the internal combination logic. The legitimacy of that reserve comes from the public backtest, not blind trust.

Is the Score investment advice?
No. It's an informational heuristic about the market cycle, not financial advice. The historical backtest shows how it would have behaved, not a guarantee of future results.

What does the Score NOT measure?
It's Bitcoin-only: it doesn't see capital rotation into altcoins or signals from other markets. It's also not a short-term timing indicator: it locates the cycle phase, it doesn't mark the exact day of a top or bottom.
