@LarkDavis Either a click bait post or if you even have a remote doubt about this then you’re a fraud with no bearing of the market.

⚠️Bitcoin is COOKED ⚠️

This was the first time in Bitcoin History, where it crashed BELOW the Bitcoin-Halvening Price.

🔴 Bitcoin was $72K at the 2024 Halvening.

🚫 It crashed -14% below it, to $59K recently.

This has never before happened:

🔵 In every cycle before, Bitcoin was at least 2x higher than its Bitcoin Halvening Price.

⚠️ This is Extremely Dangerous, and showing "Top of S Curve" behaviour.

This year, there has been a strong pivot to using the ISM to predict where the price of Bitcoin will go, especially after many of the supercycle narratives coming into this year seem to have failed.

I want to show a clear example of why the ISM does not *necessarily* have to impact the price of Bitcoin.

First, let us take a look at 2014, which was a midterm year, and also a bear market for BTC.

Jan 2014

ISM: 52.5
BTC Price: $737

Dec 2014

ISM: 55.7
BTC Price: $302

So the ISM went *up* from 52.5 to 55.7 in 2014, but BTC went down from $737 to $302.

Imagine watching the ISM each month in 2014 and seeing it go higher, but then watching the price of BTC go lower. It must have been maddening (if anyone was doing that back then, but I imagine most people were not looking at these two things together).

Now let's look at 2015. The bear market ended in January 2015.

Jan 2015

ISM: 54
BTC Price: $322

Dec 2014

ISM: 48.8
BTC Price: $429

So the ISM went *down* in 2015, but the price of BTC went up.

If you used the ISM to tell you where BTC was going to go in 2014, you would have assumed BTC would have gone up in value because the ISM was going up. But in fact the opposite happened.

If you used the ISM to tell you were BTC was going to go in 2015, you would have assumed that because ISM was dropping, BTC was also dropping. But in fact the opposite happened.

A single data point does not make a trend.

But relying on a single indicator like the ISM to predict the price action of BTC in order to confirm a supercycle does not seem to be a wise decision either.

There are absolutely scenarios where they could both go up or both go down together in 2026 (as they have many times), but I think it would be unwise to rely on this single indicator to tell you where the price of BTC was going to go.

What is interesting is this:

The ISM in Jan 2014 was 52.5.
The ISM in Jan 2026 was 52.6.

There exists a scenario where the ISM goes up in 2026 (like it did in 2014), but the price of BTC still goes down.

In fact, I would argue that the more likely scenario is that 2026 is a red year for BTC while the ISM goes up, exactly like how it played out more than a decade ago.

I hope that the people using the ISM to bet on a supercycle can view this post as educational and not trying to attack anyone.

I have just seen a lot of people lose a lot of money relying on single economic indicators, and sometimes the price action of risk assets like BTC does not always make sense when compared to what is actually going on in the economy.

As the famous saying goes, "the stock market is not the economy."

But in this case we can say "Bitcoin is not the economy."

The crypto market is facing sharp sell offs amid macro pressures, geopolitical tensions, and a US winter storm impacting miners.

Key stories in the past 24 hours:
Bitcoin plunged below $80K (now ~$77-78K, down 6-7%), triggering $1.6B+ liquidations and dropping out of the global top 10 assets by market cap

Ethereum slid ~10-12% to around $2,380-2,400, with broader altcoin losses (e.g., SOL, XRP down double digits)

Bitcoin hash rate dropped 12%—worst since China's mining ban—due to severe US winter storm curtailing operations

US Treasury imposed first-ever sanctions on Iran-linked crypto exchanges for facilitating IRGC transactions

Mega-whales quietly accumulate BTC amid retail exodus, while tokenized silver futures led liquidations

🧵 Why did stocks, gold, silver, AND altcoins all rip higher at the same time today?

The Fed’s 25 bps cut to 3.50-3.75% is acting like rocket fuel across every asset class.

Here’s the cheat sheet:

1️⃣ S&P 500 +0.7% → Cheaper borrowing = higher earnings + lower discount rates = equities moon

2️⃣ Gold +0.6% to $4,232 & Silver +1.9% to record $61.95 → Lower real yields + weaker dollar = perfect storm for precious metals

3️⃣ Altcoins exploding (FET +11%, MemeCore +9.5%, etc.) → Excess liquidity always finds the highest-beta assets first.

This “everything rally” is rare because normally metals and crypto act as hedges when stocks sell off. Today they’re all surfing the same wave of easy money.

Bottom line: When the Fed turns dovish, risk-on + safe-haven + digital gold all win together… at least until inflation data or Trump tariffs remind markets that 2026 might only see one more cut.

Enjoy the ride, but keep your seatbelt on. 🚀
