Cathie Wood Remains Optimistic on $1.5M Bitcoin Price Forecast
Bitcoin has rebounded after a prolonged period of decline, crossing above the crucial $89,600 threshold that has been a significant point of reference for Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) holders.
This surge has been timely as Cathie Wood, the CEO of ARK Invest, reaffirmed her company’s prediction that Bitcoin could reach $1.5 million in the future. Her comments came alongside observations of recovering liquidity in the markets, which have been boosted by the end of the US government shutdown.
During this week, Bitcoin’s price managed to regain the $90,000 mark, providing much-needed relief to ETF investors. According to analyses, the odds for interest rate cuts in the U.S. are rising, suggesting favorable economic conditions ahead.

However, the current trends indicate that November might become one of the worst months for Bitcoin in several years, with a downturn of around 17% amidst a history of better performance this time of year.
Cathie Wood’s Continued Bullish Perspective
According to Wood, the recent liquidity influx—approximately $70 billion since the government shutdown—is expected to continue and potentially reach an additional $300 billion in the coming weeks. She stated that with significant economic policy changes coming into play, market conditions show potential for a turnaround from recent losses.

Wood indicated that the end of the quantitative tightening (QT) program on December 1st will lead to easier monetary conditions which would favor market recovery.
