During a recent webinar, Wood suggested that the current market downturn is merely a temporary pause in the cycle rather than the end, emphasizing that Bitcoin is only halfway through its typical four-year cycle. This perspective comes at a time when market volatility has led to significant losses and the departure of many investors.
Liquidity Flows And Fed Timing
Recent reports indicate that around $70 billion has already reentered financial markets following a brief US government funding gap, with estimates suggesting that up to $300 billion could flow back as the Treasury General Account is replenished.
Wood connected this potential surge in cash to central bank policies, noting that the Federal Reserve is anticipated to conclude its quantitative tightening program by December 1. She suggested that easing liquidity could have a positive impact on both Bitcoin and stocks associated with artificial intelligence.
In a recent webinar, I discuss the upcoming reversal of the liquidity squeeze affecting #AI and #crypto, which the markets seem to have embraced, along with the reasons why AI is not in a bubble. The 123% increase highlighted in Palantir’s US commercial business last quarter was one example.

Wood highlighted the 123% increase in Palantir’s US commercial revenue as evidence of tangible business growth supporting certain market investments. Contrary to the belief that gains in the AI sector are purely speculative, Wood believes that increased money flows will help boost risk assets.
Stablecoins And Gold In Play
Analysts at ARK suggest that stablecoins have started to attract transactional demand that was previously directed towards Bitcoin. Additionally, gold has shown strong returns this year, offsetting some of the shift away from cryptocurrencies for certain purposes. This evolving landscape could alter the movement of capital once liquidity returns.
Broader Bullish Views From Market Names
Several prominent investors continue to project high price targets for Bitcoin. Tom Lee of Fundstrat has predicted that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by 2025, citing supply constraints and demand trends.
Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya has suggested price targets ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000, viewing Bitcoin as a safe haven during turbulent times.

Former Wall Street executive and Real Vision founder Raoul Pal has also advocated for six-figure price ranges driven by increasing adoption and institutional interest. These diverse viewpoints reflect the wide range of long-term expectations among key market observers.
Wood’s belief in Bitcoin reaching $1.5 million by 2030 is supported by her view that the current market correction is temporary and that there is still room for the cycle to progress. The expected return of liquidity and the growing acceptance of Bitcoin could lead to significant price increases, according to ARK Invest’s analysis.
