#Bitcoin and ISM PMI
Many people have asked me this question in comments and private messages, so I'll explain briefly here.
First, calling the ISM PMI a "business cycle" is absurd.
In economics, selectively taking a macroeconomic indicator out of context and treating it as a cycle is called abusing proxy indicators.
That being said, let's look at the charts.
In 2013, 2016, and 2020, when the PMI rose above 50, Bitcoin showed hidden bullish divergences.
Each time, a bull market followed.
And today?
The PMI has just broken 50 again, but this time it shows a typical bearish divergence.
The same indicator, different structure, can lead to different results.
