Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, has made a bold prediction for Bitcoin (BTC). While speaking on CNBC’s ‘Halftime Report’, she stated that the Bitcoin price has largely finished its drawdown based on the four-year cycle.
“We’re pretty well through the down cycle here. It will be the shallowest four-year cycle decline in Bitcoin’s short history, and then we’re off again,” she stated.
According to Wood, Bitcoin traders ought to be bullish now since the flagship coin did not have much upside based on its historical bull standards. However, she cautioned traders that the BTC price may retest its support level around $80k before a rebound towards a new all-time high (ATH).
She stated that this Bitcoin drawdown will be its shortest four-year cycle decline. She attributed the upcoming Bitcoin’s bullish rebound to the shift in the global monetary system.
Moreover, Wood believes that Bitcoin is a leader in the new asset class, which has received overwhelming interest from institutional investors catalyzed by regulatory clarity.
Bitcoin price has lagged behind major global assets, led by Gold, amid rising money supply. The flagship coin has underperformed Gold and Silver in the past year, but the trend is expected to shift in 2026.
Moreover, capital rotation from the precious metals, led by Gold, to Bitcoin has already started as observed in the notable cash inflows to the spot BTC ETFs. Notably, the U.S spot BTC ETFs have so far recorded a net cash inflow of over $726 million in January.
