The first six weeks of the second administration of US President Donald Trump was a destructive ball for cryptocurrency markets.
Since it reached the top of USD 109,000 on the day of inauguration, Bitcoin (BTC) crashed in the amount of approximately USD 78,000 at the end of February, after which it reflected a quick reflection to USD 96,000 a few days later in the plans of Trump’s cryptographic reserve. However, 24 hours later, these profits were completely inverted in traffic, which some have directly attributed to market manipulation.
Despite the tiny -term variability, Bitcoin trajectory can be better understood through the business cycle lens and global liquidity. Both variables are trekking higher than February.

What PMI says about bitcoins
Over the past seven decades, index of the purchasing index of the supply management institution (PMI) of the supply Institute (PMI) has been a valuable resource to understand the health of the US economy. Each month, ISM releases production and real estate PMI to assess the health of production and producing goods economies.
Economists put more emphasis on PMI production, because it is seen as a leading indicator of a wider economy and is more sensitive to demand changes.
PMI data is based on quantitative and qualitative assessment of the economy through the “shopping managers” lens or management in every industry.
The study assesses their perception of general business conditions, modern orders, demand for export, wrestling, arrears and employment trends, which are tablet in one index, which ranges from 0 to 100, with 50 a cut -off point between the extension and the cramp.
After 26 consecutive months of the PMI contraction, ISM increased above 50 in January. He remained above this critical level for the second month in a row in February.
Although the demand remains generally relatively tender, with many panelists Experience “The first operational shock of the new administration tariff policy”, the change in the trend in PMI is significant in the context of the business cycle.

“ISM runs an economy by about a month” According to Raoul Pal, founder of Real Vision. “But this is not only the economy – it’s every resource.”
Pal comments are supported by tests By S&P Global Market Intelligence, who said that PMI data predicted “every turning point in earnings in the last 14 years”.
S&P Global identified 74% correlation between the PMI -based earnings indicator and the earnings of American companies.
These are not only stocks that are strongly correlated with PMI – it is practically every risk resource, including Bitcoin.
“This is because strong economic growth, strong corporate earnings and the low probability of recession allow investors to” move along the risk curve. ” he said Macro tomasonmarkets analyst.

With the emergence of the Business Cycle, Pal expects Bitcoin at the end of 2025 or even at the beginning of 2026. This peak of the cycle should be covered with the upper part of the ISM business cycle, which was historically in high 50 and low 1960s.
