Gold Surges Over 33% in 2025, Bitcoin-Gold Ratio Approaches Breakout
Gold has increased by over 33% in 2025, outperforming the Nasdaq 100 index and nearly doubling the performance of BTC. The BTC-XAU ratio is now 31.2 ounces of gold per BTC, down from 40 ounces in December.
This surge is driven by declining government bond yields amid high debt, inflation concerns, and slowing growth, reinforcing gold's status as a safe-haven asset.
Technical analysis indicates that the BTC-XAU ratio is forming a bullish ascending triangle since 2017, with a potential breakout expected late Q4 or early next year. Previous cycles experienced significant drawdowns, but the current pullback is less severe, indicating underlying strength and supporting a long-term bullish outlook.
