Cycle tools for long-term holders

Everything here is free, server-rendered and works without an account or a JavaScript framework. Each tool ships with a plain-English explainer in Learn and, where it feeds the index, a section in the methodology. Items marked coming soon are next in line — the data behind them is already collected daily.

The flagship composite: how hot bitcoin and ether are against their own last four years, on a 0–100 scale.
