Bitcoin’s Historic Downtrend: Breaking Below a 12-Year Uptrend as Gold Soars to New Heights

On March 14th, COINOTAG News reported a significant shift in the Bitcoin-to-Gold exchange rate, breaking below a critical uptrend line that has persisted for more than twelve years. Esteemed analyst NorthStar cautions that a sustained drop below this trend line for a week or more could indicate the conclusion of Bitcoin’s longstanding bull market. During this period, while Gold reached unprecedented levels, Bitcoin, often cited as “digital Gold,” has witnessed a cooling off in its uptrend.

The notable decline in the BTC/XAU ratio coincided with Gold prices surging over $3,000 per ounce, marking an approximate 12.80% increase in 2025 alone. In stark contrast, Bitcoin has recorded an 11% decline this year. According to the World Gold Council, US spot Gold ETFs have drawn in excess of $6.48 billion in capital so far this year, contributing to a global total of approximately $23.18 billion in inflows. Conversely, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced outflows nearing $1.46 billion year-to-date, further illustrating the shifting investor sentiment.
