During yesterday’s trading session, COIN closed at $264.97, up 4.27%, along with the broader crypto market rebound. This purchase comes as the firm continues a buying spree across several other crypto stocks, including Circle, Bullish, and BitMine.
The move represents a departure from Ark’s usual strategy of accumulating positions during market pullbacks. Ark Invest is often known for buying COIN during price declines.
The purchase by Cathie Wood seems to be strategically timed as the COIN stock bounces off from the high-timeframe support, around $250, as shown by the purple line in the chart below.

In the coming days, the main focus will be on whether the stock can reclaim the previously lost high-timeframe support zone, highlighted in green. It has served as the primary bottoming structure over the past few months.
Cathie Wood Expects Crypto Rally Ahead
In her recent webinar, Cathie Wood stated that she expects an end to liquidity tightening, which has affected AI and crypto sectors over the past two months.
In this recent webinar, I discuss why the liquidity squeeze that has hit #AI and #crypto will reverse in the next few weeks, something the markets seemed to buy, and why AI is not in a bubble. The 123% increase noted below was in Palantir’s US commercial business last qtr.

Wood was likely referring to Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who has previously hinted at ending quantitative tightening (QT), raising expectations of a Fed rate cut during December’s FOMC meeting.
In their recent report, Ark Invest noted: “With liquidity returning, quantitative tightening (QT) ending December 1st, and monetary policy turning supportive, we believe conditions are building for markets to potentially reverse recent drawdowns.”

The asset manager also stated that improving market conditions will be supported by rising liquidity, with an estimated $70 billion already flowing back into markets since the end of the U.S. government shutdown.
The firm expects an additional $300 billion to return over the next five to six weeks as the Treasury General Account continues to normalize.
