Why ISM PMI jumping could start an altseason

When ISM PMI (US manufacturing index) breaks above 55, risk-on mood kicks in hard, and historically altcoins outperform Bitcoin big time.

We're in year 5 of the economic expansion. Now both ISM PMI and Russell 2000 (small caps) are showing fresh strength.

Better manufacturing + stronger small stocks = improving growth outlook → perfect fuel for high-beta stuff like alts.

If PMI stays above 55 and small caps keep rising, the macro setup could be right for another multi-month altcoin pump.

Not guaranteed, but these are exactly the conditions that lit up past altseasons.
