The immediate flashpoint is BIP-110, a draft proposal that would temporarily impose much tighter consensus-level limits on non-monetary data, following Bitcoin Core 30's loosening of the default OP_RETURN policy.

Bitcoin’s price action is looking uncertain on the surface, but one crypto analyst believes the real story is playing out far from the charts that most traders are watching. According to crypto analyst Crypto Tice, all of that Bitcoin price noise obscures a single, quietly reliable signal that has accurately traced out every major Bitcoin cycle in history: the Purchasing Managers’ Index. In a post on X, Tice noted that the PMI cycle is the only one that matters, and right now, it is flashing. The PMI Cycle Has Defined Every Bitcoin Bottom The PMI is a monthly economic indicator that tracks business activity across manufacturing and services sectors. On the surface, this may seem disconnected from the crypto market. However, the analyst’s outlook on the PMI is grounded in historical repetition: Bitcoin tends to form its most important lows when PMI is contracting, not when optimism is high.

The crypto market appears weak, sentiment turns negative, and price action stalls or drifts lower. But this is the exact period where long-term accumulation has always taken place for Bitcoin. As shown in the chart below, each major Bitcoin cycle shows green zones forming during periods of PMI contraction, followed by strong upward expansions once conditions change. These conditions are based on previous market bottoms, with examples being the accumulation ranges before the 2017 and 2021 rallies. Green-shaded zones labeled “scale out” periods consistently correspond with peak price phases across multiple cycles in 2013, 2017, and 2021. Red-shaded “scale in” zones, by contrast, highlight the accumulation floors. Bitcoin Price Chart. Source: @CryptoTice_ On X What The PMI Indicator Is Saying Now At the time of writing, the Purchasing Managers’ Index is sitting at a reading just above 48, which is bordering below the expansion signal reading of 50. What this means is that Bitcoin is currently sitting in the early phase of the PMI, which is the same structural zone that preceded each of the major rallies catalogued in the chart above. Related Reading: 4 Bitcoin Targets To Be On The Lookout For As Price Retests S/R Zone The indicator on the chart is positioned in a red accumulation zone and is expected to resolve to the upside over the coming months. According to the analyst, Bitcoin is currently in the exact same zone that marked every major buy window in history. However, this current accumulation zone won’t be available much longer. Bitcoin is currently trading at $71,070 with a 3.8% increase in the past 24 hours. It has spent quite a bit of time trading around $70,000, which is giving more credit to the idea that it has already bottomed. Notably, some analysts have begun pointing to this possibility. However, Bitcoin is still dealing with investor fear sentiment. Bitcoin sentiment is now back in fear, just days after showing signs of recovery.

Crypto analyst Hailey has predicted that Dogecoin could see a 2,500% rally to $2, based on a historical pattern. This comes as DOGE continues to trade below the psychological $0.10 level amid the U.S.-Iran war. Dogecoin Eyes 2,500% Rally If History Repeats Itself Crypto analyst Hailey said in an X post that Dogecoin could see gains of 2,500% if history repeats. The analyst noted that breakouts from patterns like the one that has formed for DOGE have historically delivered life-changing returns. The targets for DOGE on the projected rally are $0.28, $0.5, $1, and $2. Related Reading: The Dogecoin Setup That Could Create New Crypto Millionaires The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that this Dogecoin rally to $2 could happen by 2029, a period which could mark the top in the next bull run. Interestingly, crypto analyst CW declared that the bull rally for DOGE has already begun, as a green candle has appeared at the bottom of the rising channel, a historical bottom. Furthermore, crypto analyst TraderSZ suggested that Dogecoin has bottomed, with the foremost meme coin trading at a historical low. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed DOGE could rally to $0.80 by next year, which would mark a new bottom for the meme coin. However, crypto analyst Chiefra has predicted that Dogecoin is still at risk of a further breakdown to the downside. The analyst said that DOGE is inside the last bear market accumulation range. He added that continuous consolidation below $0.10 could easily lead to another 35% drop towards $0.06. The foremost meme coin is also at risk of a further decline due to the U.S.-Iran conflict, which continues to pressure the crypto market. A DOGE Rally To $0.44 In The Near Term Crypto analyst Javon Marks has predicted that Dogecoin could rally to $0.44 in the near term. He noted that a Hidden Bull Divergence may be forming with DOGE’s momentum oscillator, making lower lows and price currently holding higher lows. The analyst said this suggests a strong possibility of a major continuation. This continuation could lead to a 350% rally, sending the meme coin above $0.44. Related Reading: Dogecoin Is No Longer Bearish: Why Analysts Are Predicting A Better Future In the meantime, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade warned market participants to be careful of the current Dogecoin price action on the daily chart. He noted that DOGE is still holding above support but that two indicators are flashing bearish. This includes the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is breaking down from support. Furthermore, the MACD is close to a bearish crossover. However, Trader Tardigrade is bullish on the monthly, stating that DOGE looks primed for a rally to $1. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.09358, up almost 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
