A less and less strong roller coaster. This is a reality that investors in cryptocurrencies know well: cycles de marché are marked by spectacular increasesbut also by important fixes. Bitcoin (BTC), as the undisputed leader of the crypto market, is no exception to this rule. On the contrary, it often prints it on altcoins. However, according to Cathie Woodthe CEO of investment fund ARK Investtimes are changing. In a recent interview, she stated that Bitcoin will not experience no more falls as dizzying as in the past.
- Bitcoin is described by Cathie Wood (the CEO of ARK Invest) as a now “proven” asset, suggesting that its past massive corrections will not happen again.
- Cathie Wood asserted that Bitcoin’s underlying technology is mature, and that the market has evolved, making the 85% to 95% declines obsolete.
Bitcoin, a proven asset according to Cathie Wood
In a recent interview given to the show Squawk Box of the CNBC channel, Cathie Wood claimed that Bitcoin is now a active « étry ». Therefore, its former massive corrections of 85% or more would be like this derrière nous.
According to the head of ARK Invest, the technology underlying the king of cryptocurrencies is now matureand the marché crypto a évolué.
“Believe it or not, in the Bitcoin community, a decline [maximale] of 50% (…) will be considered a real victory. Because you’re right: 85-95% drops associated with very new technology are over. It is now a proven technology, a proven monetary system and a new asset class. HAS”

Will the -52% of BTC at the beginning of February be the low point of this cycle?
Historically, Bitcoin has already experienced several bear market cycles (bear market) where the price fell drastically from its all-time highs. For example, in 2021-2022the price of BTC rose from almost 69 000 dollars at approximately 15,700 dollars, a correction of the order of -77 %. However, Cathie Wood believes that these major corrections belong to the past.
In the current state of this market cycle, the point bas on Bitcoin would have been affected towards the 60 000 dollars early February 2026. This represents a correction of -52,4 % compared to the last ATH (historic high) of BTC at 126,000 dollarsearly October 2025.
If we are to believe Cathie Wood, if Bitcoin has entered this new phase of maturity, the correction maximum of BTC could therefore perhaps déjà avoir été touchée for this cycle. Especially since other indicators point in this direction, such as the RSI, which seems to form a bottom (market low point) on Bitcoin prices. However, only time will give us the definitive answer.
