The tide isn’t random — it has a rhythm. And Market Tide Weekly finally named it.

Introducing the Reverse‑Cycle Predator (RCP) Scale, our structural taxonomy for understanding how issuers move from occasional dilution to collapse‑velocity predatory cycles.

RCP‑I — Opportunistic Diluters Slow, explainable offerings. No reverse‑split dependency.

RCP‑II — Cyclical Diluters Repeated offerings, early governance friction, float expansion cycles.

RCP‑III — Toxic‑Financing Engines Reverse split → offering → resale → equity plan → repeat. High‑velocity filings. Narrative pivots. Governance churn.

RCP‑IV — Terminal Predators Auditor resignations. Delisting notices. Litigation clusters. Structural collapse.

The RCP Scale is built from filings, governance motion, ownership churn, narrative pivots, and jurisdictional flexibility. It’s the lens behind our Deep Dives, Tuesday picks, and investigative work.
