On May 27, the BTC/Gold ratio fell below a key upward trend line, and capital focus shifted to gold and other safe-haven assets. Since March, the ratio rose from about 12 to 18 and then retreated; analysts say gold may temporarily outperform BTC. Over the past two weeks, Bitcoin ETF net outflows exceeded $200 million, while gold ETFs saw a net inflow of about $2.34 billion for the week ending May 20. This indicates that rising U.S. Treasury yields and high interest-rate expectations are bringing the market back to hard assets, weakening BTC’s store-of-value momentum.

Mars Finance News, on May 27th, the three-month upward trend of Bitcoin relative to gold has shown a clear break. The BTC/Gold ratio recently broke below a key upward trend line, indicating that capital preference is shifting back toward traditional safe-haven assets like gold. Data shows that since March, the BTC/Gold ratio has risen from about 12 to 18, reflecting that the market was once more favoring Bitcoin as "digital gold." However, with the recent reversal in trend, analysts believe that gold may outperform BTC again in the short term. Capital flows also confirm this change. Over the past two weeks, U.S. Bitcoin ETF outflows have exceeded $2 billion; at the same time, gold and precious metal ETFs attracted approximately $2.34 billion in net inflows during the week ending May 20. Analysts believe that against the backdrop of rising U.S. bond yields, strengthened expectations of "longer-lasting high interest rates," and ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, the market is reallocating to traditional hard assets, while the narrative momentum of BTC as a "store of value" has weakened.

In an environment where U.S. Treasury yields are above 4.5%, digital gold can't compete with real gold; the logic is sound.

The rally from March 12 to 18 was probably the last celebration of the ETF narrative; now it’s returning to the mean.

High-interest-rate environments are not friendly to interest-free assets; gold can rise because of central bank buying, but Bitcoin lacks this.

The analyst said again that gold has surpassed BTC—I’ve heard this eight hundred times, but the ETF data really can’t be argued with.

After the key upward trend line breaks down, is the next support level at 15? Or does it directly fall back to 12?

BTC/Gold ratio peaks at 18 and then declines, a classic technical breakdown, with short-term safe-haven logic dominating the market

The inflow into gold ETFs this time is indeed strong, 2.3 billion compared to 200 million, showing that funds are voting with their feet.
