Bitcoin’s price movements have long shown a striking correlation with the broader business cycle, and new analysis suggests that pattern is holding true once again.
According to Bitcoinsensus, the cryptocurrency market has historically tracked the ISM Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) with impressive accuracy – expanding during periods of economic growth and slowing during contractions.
When the ISM expands, Bitcoin often enters parabolic growth phases, frequently igniting a broader altcoin rally known as altseason. Previous cycles – visible on long-term charts – reveal how these expansion periods have preceded some of the market’s most explosive gains.
However, the same data also carries a warning. When the ISM begins to contract after a run-up, it has historically marked the start of some of the harshest bear markets in crypto. These downturns have drained liquidity from both Bitcoin and altcoins, often catching latecomers off guard.
The latest charts show Bitcoin in what could be the fourth such cycle since 2012. If history repeats, investors may see another surge — but also need to prepare for a potential liquidity squeeze once the economic tide turns.
