I can quite confidently say that promotions/demotions have nothing to do with pure streaks. i.e, if you go 4-1 over and over and over and over and over, you WILL get promoted. It doesn't matter that you can only reach a streak of 4 wins at a time.

The visible points have nothing to do with it. The biggest indicator of how close you are to promotion I'd say is the number of points you get for a win against the people you play and how good they are. Of course their skill rating is hidden to so you cannot know for sure, but in general if you keep winning, you will notice you will be playing against players in a league higher than you. If you are winning against players a league higher than you and earning ~16 points or less, your promotion is probably very close.
