[U.S. Manufacturing PMI Breaks 50 for the First Time in Three Years, Analysts Divided on Bitcoin's Future Trend] Odaily Planet Daily News – The U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI for January broke above 50, ending the contraction trend that lasted throughout 2025 and reaching its highest level since 2022. Andre Dragosch, Head of European Research at Bitwise, stated that the surge in PMI data aligns with the logic of a reflation trade, a macroeconomic environment historically associated with Bitcoin bull markets. Michaël van de Poppe commented that the PMI returning above 50 signals the end of a long-term bear market, predicting that the cryptocurrency market will experience its final bull run in the next 1 to 3 years. However, Titan of Crypto noted that although Bitcoin saw price increases in 2013, 2016, and 2020 after the PMI rose above 50, there is currently a bearish divergence between the PMI and Bitcoin prices, suggesting this time the outcome might be different.
