💥 This one MOVES MARKETS! 💥

The ISM Manufacturing PMI drops today — a key U.S. economic indicator that often shakes risk assets like BTC, ETH, and major altcoins. Futures traders, this is your macro moment. ⚡

📊 WHAT IT MEANS:

> Above 50 ➡️ Expansion → stronger economy → rate-hike / “higher-for-longer” fears → risk-off

Below 50 ➡️ Contraction → slowdown → rate-cut hopes → risk-on 🚀

🔥 WATCH THESE NUMBERS CLOSELY:

🏭 Headline PMI – overall activity

📦 New Orders – forward demand

💰 Prices Paid – inflation pressure

👷 Employment – labor strength

⚔️ TRADER PLAYBOOK (not financial advice)

🟢 Weak PMI → “Fed pivot” hopes → liquidity ↑ → crypto rally possible

🔴 Strong PMI → inflation fears → risk assets pull back

⚡ Expect volatility around the release: spreads widen, wicks fly, and liquidation cascades hit fast.

🧠 Pro tips:

• Reduce leverage into the print

• Wait 15–30 min after release for direction confirmation

• Watch funding, OI spikes, and basis before reacting

📣 Stay tuned and keep notifications ON!

I’ll post the exact PMI numbers as soon as they drop at 17:00 Athens / 10:00 ET ⏰
