đš ETH IS WAITING ON ISM 56
I keep coming back to one macro level: 56.
In the previous two major ETH cycles, ISM moving above that area came before some of ETHâs biggest advances. That doesnât mean ISM caused those rallies â two cycles arenât enough to prove that â but the recurring threshold is hard to ignore.
Today, ISM came in at 54.5, slightly below the 54.8 forecast and Augustâs 54.6. Manufacturing is still expanding, but the acceleration hasnât reached 56 yet.$ETH
And this is where I think the setup gets more interesting.
A sustained move from the mid-50s toward 60 would signal that the manufacturing cycle is gaining real momentum. If that happens while financial conditions and ETHâs structure remain supportive, the backdrop for higher-beta assets could look very different from today.
ETH closed September around $2,683 and is currently still around the $2.7K area.
So Iâm not treating 56 as a magic bull-market trigger.
Iâm treating it as a confirmation level.
If ISM breaks through 56 and keeps climbing, thatâs when this historical pattern becomes much more interesting to watch.
