not really. Bitcoin is still around 10% from ATH. Art, wine and various collectibles are still down a lot from the highs. The dollar does not have anything to do with this. A falling dollar does not make Americans want to splurge or lead to speculation. Indeed, the dollar surged in 2008 and 2009, yet asset prices were falling. A falling dollar is only indicative of demand for other currencies. it has nothing to do with asset prices, as art and other prices are almost already quoted in dollars anyway. if people wanted to hedge the falling dollar, they would buy those currencies.
