ISM-Bitcoin Correlation Suggests a Longer Bull Market Could Extend Into 2026

Historically, the ISM’s moves have also correlated with major Bitcoin cycle tops, a connection first popularized by macro investor Raoul Pal.

That correlation has now captured the attention of the crypto community. Analysts like Colin Talks Crypto and Lark Davis argue that the ISM’s prolonged stagnation could mean Bitcoin’s bull market will stretch far beyond its typical four-year rhythm.

The analyst suggested that a cycle top could be mid-2026 for the Bitcoin price if the relationship holds. Entrepreneur and Bitcoin investor Davis agreed, noting that while everyone expects a Q4 2025 peak, the ISM has not shown real expansion yet, meaning this cycle could go way deeper into 2026.

A weaker ISM often implies delayed economic recovery and longer market expansions. Despite current headwinds from tariffs to sluggish global demand, the extended contraction phase may lengthen the broader business cycle rather than end it.

While this could translate to a more gradual, durable uptrend for the Bitcoin price, it warns against expecting an early peak as the 2025–2026 cycle debate shapes into a consequential narrative linking traditional economics and digital assets.

A ‘Star Wars’ Actor Rewrites The Entire New Trilogy They Starred In

A ‘Star Wars’ Actor Rewrites The Entire New Trilogy They Starred In

The post A ‘Star Wars’ Actor Rewrites The Entire New Trilogy They Starred In appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. It feels like we don’t hear all that much from actor John Boyega that much, outside of when he’s talking about Star Wars as of late. And in a recent Popverse interview, he went so far as to rework the entire trilogy, in terms of what he’d do differently, as he’s been vocal about what he believed went wrong with the original. Here’s what he said: “It would be mad. First of all, we’re not getting rid of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, all these people. We’re not doing that. The first thing we’re going to do is fulfill their story, fulfill their legacy. We’re going to make a good moment of handing on the baton.” “Luke Skywalker wouldn’t be disappearing on a rock … Hell no. Standing there and he’s, like, a projector? I would want to give those characters way more way more” By the end of the trilogy, all three major Star Wars leads are dead. Han Solo killed by his son, Kylo Ren. Luke Skywalker fading into the ether after force projecting himself to face Kylo Ren. Leia had to be written off due to the tragic death of Carrie Fisher during the production of the trilogy. So Boyega would halt at least the first two deaths, as it did come off as strange that “passing the baton” was mainly killing all the big characters. He continues: “Our new characters will not be overpowered in these movies. They won’t just grab stuff and know what to do with it… No. You’ve got to struggle like every other character in this franchise.” This is likely a reference to both Rey and himself. Rey was frequently criticized as a “Mary Sue,” possessing immense power and skill in everything from flying to fighting to the force despite growing up as…
