On December 14, Cathie Wood—founder of ARK Invest—stated that during the October 11 flash crash, Bitcoin boasted the strongest liquidity among all crypto assets, often leading sell-offs that dragged down other currencies (which saw steeper declines).

Regarding Ethereum and Solana, Wood noted the narrative is shifting. Ethereum, she said, is institutions’ infrastructure of choice, with Layer 2 solutions built atop it.

On December 14, Bitwise advisor Jeff Park noted in a post that "the current market structure is fundamentally not supportive of a significant Bitcoin price rally." He cited two key drivers: Bitcoin OG holders are still steadily selling, while demand from ETFs and DATs is slowing. Park also stressed that for Bitcoin to stage a breakout, it must sustainably return to meaningfully higher implied volatility levels—especially upward volatility. Back in November, he referenced the phrase "volatility or death," noting the first emergence of an unusual breakout signal at that time, which eventually sparked a rebound in volatility and reignited some optimism. Unfortunately, implied volatility has since been broadly suppressed again over the past two weeks, dropping from a late-November peak of 63% to 44% now.
