Cathie Wood: Crypto Market May Be Approaching Potential Bottoming Range
**February 8th Brief**
ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood—widely known as “WoodSis”—said Wednesday: “The key to diversified asset allocation is adding new assets with low correlation to existing holdings, and Bitcoin fits that bill. Low-correlation additions can boost risk-adjusted returns over the long term.”
That’s why I believe institutions are finally taking crypto seriously. Previously, they may have held back due to the “four-year cycle” narrative. Whether or not that cycle is real, the market has undergone a sharp correction and is now near what many technical analysts see as a potential low point.
Market bottoms typically bring high volatility. In hindsight, people often say, “I wish I’d bought at that low.” The V-shaped rebound we’ve seen has already been notable. Of course, this isn’t a guarantee—but multiple factors appear to be gradually lining up.

Cathie Wood: Bitcoin has extremely low correlation with gold, is gradually buying into crypto concept stocks
**ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood on Bitcoin, Gold & Crypto Stocks (Feb 8)**
Cathie Wood—ARK Invest CEO, widely known as “Wood Mom”—said Tuesday (Feb 8) that Bitcoin once dropped to roughly $60,000, nearly halving from its October high.
Calculating the correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and gold since 2019, she noted the figure is just 0.14—meaning almost no correlation. “Gold tends to rally before Bitcoin does, and that dynamic could repeat,” she added.
Wood also shared that ARK discloses its daily trading activity, and the firm has been gradually purchasing small positions in crypto-related stocks. “We don’t know how much further the sell-off will go or if it’s already over,” she said. “But when negative sentiment is this extreme, if our research holds, we should enter in batches and scale up our positions gradually.”
