How to read this. “Median leaving one year out” drops each year in turn and shows how far the median travels — the wider the range, the more the pattern rests on single years. “By chance” is the probability that a coin flip produces at least as many up-years. With 8 full years, only values well below 20% mean more than an impression — 9 of 12 months do not get there.
We do not name a cause. Halving cycle, tax deadlines, summer lull — these are explanations that 8 years can neither prove nor refute. What stands here is the observation and how far it carries; the interpretation stays open.
