According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), the ISM has been in a sideways chop for 29 months, marking the longest period in recent memory. This prolonged stagnation has led to Bitcoin's gradual rise, while altcoins have yet to see a significant surge. Traders are advised to closely monitor Bitcoin's performance as it continues to grind upward, and keep an eye on potential altcoin movements once the ISM shows signs of breaking this pattern.
