$BTC UPDATE 🚨
Plan’s simple 👇

However, it is all contingent on BTC holding firm above $111,000.
Despite $40 million in liquidations that flushed out leveraged traders, BTC’s bigger picture, based on fundamentals including, clearer regulations, growing institutional lending and easing inflation support its near term recovery.

ISM Data Suggests That Bitcoin’s Market Cycle Might Outlast Expectations
Bitcoin’s current market cycle could be longer than expected and the US manufacturing data might be the reason.
An analyst named Colin Talks Crypto, in his analysis pointed out to the ISM Manufacturing PMI. This indicator measures how well the US factories are doing.
Historically speaking, BTC has usually peaked when this index has risen above 50, signaling growth in manufacturing. Meaning, BTC’s peak and the ISM Manufacturing PMI have moved in tandem.
This time however, the PMI has stayed below 50 for seven straight months, meaning the sector is still shrinking. If history was to repeat, BTC will not hit its peak till manufacturing starts to recover.
Is the ISM (aka “business cycle”) going to be correlated with the next $BTC top?
If so, it would indicate a considerably longer cycle than bitcoin cycles typically run for. Such an extension would be an outlier amongst traditional measurements of bitcoin cycles. Because of this… https://t.co/DJ0MAFO52y pic.twitter.com/OFFa35wxVb

Why this matters? Well, because when the economy picks up and factories are busy, investors usually take on more risks, which often leads to more money flowing into assets like crypto. But because of weak demand and high costs, the recovery signal hasn’t shown up yet.
That being said, manufacturing in the US isn’t as big as it used to be, therefore this indicator might not be as reliable as before.
A low PMI doesn’t guarantee a recession or a longer bull run, but it’s still worth watching.
