Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is regaining momentum as a macro hedge, with its correlation to gold snapping back into positive territory. As of April 25, the 30-day Pearson correlation between Bitcoin and gold stood at 0.54—up sharply from a low of -0.67 in February.
That reversal reflects a renewed alignment between two key safe-haven assets amid growing global uncertainty. In February, Bitcoin tumbled 17% from $102,000 to $84,000, while gold ticked up from $2,800 to $2,850. That divergence sparked a rare dislocation in the correlation, but it proved temporary.
Since March, Bitcoin has rallied over 10%, while gold gained 5%, both tracking renewed demand for alternative stores of value. Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index has slid by 4%, reinforcing the appeal of inflation-resistant assets.
Historical data supports the likelihood of this “recoupling” continuing. Since 2020, Bitcoin’s correlation to gold has fallen below -0.50 on 18 occasions. In 17 of those cases, it rebounded above 0.5 within a week.
Bitcoin Outpaces Gold, Signals Liquidity Rotation
Bitcoin is not only re-aligning with gold—it’s also beginning to outperform it. Macro analyst Ted (@TedPillows) noted the shift in a recent tweet:
“$BTC is catching up really fast now. Since the bottom, BTC is nearly 25% and is now outperforming Gold and SPX. Interestingly, Gold is trending down, which shows that liquidity rotation from Gold to BTC has started. I already said that before: ‘When Gold pumps, BTC pumps even harder.’”
This supports a broader narrative of capital rotating away from traditional safe havens into higher-beta assets as macro risks evolve. Bitcoin’s relative strength—paired with its speculative upside—is once again making it a favorite among risk-on institutional players.
Key trends to watch:
- BTC outperforming gold and the S&P 500 since March
- Correlation rebound from -0.67 to 0.54
- Continued weakness in the U.S. Dollar Index
Trump Tariffs Reignite the “Digital Gold” Trade
Bitcoin’s rebound also mirrors recent macro developments. After President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcement, BTC surged over 10%, while gold rose 5%. The U.S. Dollar Index dropped 4% in response, underlining renewed pressure on fiat confidence.
This macro backdrop reinforces Bitcoin’s role as a hedge in periods of policy and geopolitical strain:
- BTC climbed more than 10%
- Gold rose 5%
- DXY declined 4%
With trade policy uncertainty and upcoming economic data releases, investors are again seeking exposure to scarcity-based assets. Bitcoin’s digital scarcity narrative is resonating anew.
Technical Setup: Bitcoin Targets $98K Breakout
Technically, Bitcoin is consolidating just below $95,000, holding above its rising trendline and the 50 EMA ($94,015). Recent support near $93,760 has held twice, while resistance remains at $95,850. A confirmed breakout could open the door to $97,500 and $98,800.
For traders:
- Entry idea: Above $96,000 on volume
- Stop-loss: Below $94,000
- Upside targets: $97,500 and $98,800
MACD momentum is neutral for now, but any bullish volume spike could trigger an impulsive move higher. The trend is intact, and historical correlation patterns hint this may only be the beginning.
