Bitcoin (BTC) breached a rising support trendline against gold (XAU), which 
has been intact for over 12 years, on March 14.

Popular analyst NorthStar says this breakdown could spell the end of Bitcoin&#8217;s 
12-year bull run if it stays under the gold trendline for even a week or&#8211; 
worse&#8211;a month.
Is Bitcoin&#8217;s bull market over? Let&#8217;s take a closer look at BTC&#8217;s correlation 
with gold.
## Gold hits new record high as Bitcoin&#8217;s uptrend cools
The BTC/XAU ratio breakdown occurred as spot gold rates hit a new record high 
above $3,000 per ounce on March 14, after rising by about 12.80% year-to-date.
In contrast, Bitcoin, which is often called &#8220;digital gold,&#8221; has dropped by 11% 
so far in 2025.

The performances reflect the contrasting net flows into US-based spot 
exchange-traded funds (ETF) tracking Bitcoin and gold.
For instance, as of March 14, the US-based spot gold ETFs had collectively 
attracted over $6.48 billion YTD, according to data resource World Gold 
Council. Globally, gold ETFs have seen $23.18 billion in inflows.

On the other hand, US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs saw nearly $1.46 billion in 
outflows YTD, according to onchain data platform Glassnode.

The driving force behind this divergence lies in growing macroeconomic 
uncertainty and risk-off sentiment, exacerbated by President Donald Trump&#8217;s 
aggressive trade policies.

New tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada have heightened fears of a global 
economic slowdown, pushing investors toward traditional safe-haven assets like 
gold.
Meanwhile, central banks, including those in the US, China, and the UK, have 
accelerated their gold purchases, further boosting gold prices.

In contrast, Bitcoin is mirroring the broader risk-on market. As of March 14, 
its 52-week correlation coefficient with the Nasdaq Composite index was 0.76.

## Has Bitcoin price topped?
The current Bitcoin-to-gold breakdown aligns with historical patterns, 
particularly the March 2021-March 2022 fractal, which preceded the last bear 
market.
At that time, the BTC/XAU ratio exhibited a bearish divergence, characterized 
by rising prices juxtaposed against a declining relative strength index (RSI). 
This pattern suggested diminishing upward momentum.

Consequently, the ratio initially retreated toward the 50-period, two-week 
exponential moving average (EMA) support level before ultimately plummeting by 
60%.
That BTC/XAU breakdown period coincided with Bitcoin&#8217;s 68% correction against 
the US dollar.

BTC/XAU has once again completed a two-phase EMA retest, echoing the 2021-2022 
fractal.

With the RSI showing bearish divergence, momentum appears to be fading, 
increasing the probability of further declines, especially if the ratio drops 
decisively below the 50-2W EMA support (~26 XAU).
As a result, it could also indicate Bitcoin&#8217;s increased vulnerability to price 
declines in dollar terms, with the 50-2W EMA below $65,000 acting as the next 
potential downside target.

That is down about 40% from Bitcoin&#8217;s record high of around $110,000 
established in January.
Still, Nansen analysts consider such a decline as a &#8220;correction within a bull 
market,&#8221; raising possibilities of a bullish revival if the 50-2W EMA holds as 
support. However, a definitive break below the EMA could thrust Bitcoin into 
bear market territory.
That could drag Bitcoin&#8217;s 2025 downside target toward the 200-period two-week 
EMA (the blue wave) to as low as $34,850 if this Bitcoin-gold fractal repeats.

Although it may seem like crypto dominated world markets for the better 
portion of the last half year, it&#8217;s actually the artificial intelligence 
industry that took home a significantly large proportion of institutional 
funding. According to Pitchbook, crypto venture funding in the US clocked in 
at around $861M in the first quarter of 2025. Impressive, right? AI, however, 
saw nearly $20B in funding during the same time frame. That&#8217;s over 23x more 
than crypto. Some headline AI deals include Anthropic&#8217;s $2B raise and 
Databricks&#8217; scooping up a mind-boggling $15.3B in its funding round. Crypto&#8217;s 
biggest deal, on the other hand, was Abu Dhabi&#8217;s MGX making a $2B investment 
into Binance. The Markets Have Spoken: AI &gt; Crypto Don&#8217;t mistake this 
quarter&#8217;s investment numbers to be a one-off instance. This is a well- 
established trend. For instance, where AI startups attracted $131.5B in 2024, 
crypto firms raised a mere $4.9B. All in all, there&#8217;s no debate that AI is 
still getting more attention than crypto. But what about AI crypto projects? 
The Rise of AI Cryptocurrency Projects AI crypto coins are a relatively new 
niche, but given that they aim to make AI more accessible and useful by 
combining it with blockchain technologies, there&#8217;s a strong case to be made 
for them. For example, there are AI-crypto projects offering decentralized 
platforms for safe data sharing for AI training. Then there are AI agents that 
can analyze truckloads of data in a short period of time and churn out real- 
time crypto investment insights. The possibilities, quite frankly, are 
endless. Plus, with AI successfully integrating into DeFi protocols and 
proving its mettle in performing complex on-chain operations, the AI-crypto 
collaboration certainly has a bright future ahead of it. Not to forget that 
there are already multiple billion-dollar AI-crypto projects in the market 
right now. Because this particular market segment is in its infancy, we might 
have a potentially once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on our hands. Here are the 
best AI agent coins that can help you make the most of the upcoming boom in 
AI-crypto projects. 1. MIND of Pepe ($MIND) – Best AI Agent Coin Offering 
Real-Time Trading Insights If you&#8217;re new to crypto trading – or you&#8217;ve given 
it an honest go but failed to generate profits – MIND of Pepe ($MIND) might 
just be the best crypto for you to buy. $MIND is an anonymous and self- 
evolving AI agent capable of identifying high-potential cryptos. In short, if 
you can identify a fundamentally strong crypto, you&#8217;re a good crypto trader. 
But if you can identify a utility token that also enjoys market hype before it 
explodes, you&#8217;re $MIND. How does $MIND do it? It constantly talks to crypto 
influencers and communities online (such as on X) and carefully soaks in all 
the bajillion pieces of information, including bias towards specific cryptos, 
an entire segment, and even the larger market. Then, $MIND uses hive-mind 
analysis to join the dots and pinpoint tokens that could benefit as a result 
of all the chatter going around. Additionally, MIND of Pepe is also set to one 
day launch its own tokens. Combined with the AI agent&#8217;s upcoming ability to 
drive new crypto trends by swaying conversations and opinions online, these 
cryptos will enjoy a much higher likelihood of skyrocketing. If you want to 
benefit from all that $MIND has to offer as well as from the project&#8217;s 
upcoming growth, become an investor in $MIND&#8217;s presale. It&#8217;s currently ongoing 
and has already raised over $7.3M. One token is available for just $0.0035095 
right now – here&#8217;s how to buy it. 2. Virtuals Protocol ($VIRTUAL) – Innovative 
Crypto Aiming to Revolutionize Virtual Interactions Through AI Virtual worlds 
are likely going to be all the rage in the near future. This is why crypto 
projects like Virtuals Protocol, which aim at leveraging AI to simplify life 
in the virtual realm, have been gaining momentum. For example, if you happen 
to use a crypto wallet in an online game, you can permit the AI agent to 
manage the wallet for you – as far as using it to spend money within that game 
is concerned. It can also manage other digital asses, such as avatars, NFTs, 
and game items, and it can do so across multiple virtual environments. 
$VIRTUAL, the project&#8217;s native token, is trading on some of the biggest crypto 
exchanges. These include BiKing, BingX, and Bitget. Such industry-wide 
integration is a strong sign of Virtuals Protocol&#8217;s potential. After surging 
past the $4.6 mark in early 2025, $VIRTUAL has been in a steady downtrend. But 
that has been the case with almost every single coin. The bottom line remains 
that this is a key player in the Metaverse&#8217;s evolution and, as such, is poised 
for massive growth. OSpeaking of growth, $VIRTUAL is up over 4.7% today. It&#8217;s 
currently trading at $0.6510, which makes it one of the best cheap cryptos to 
buy right now. 3. LayerAI ($LAI) – First to Successfully Merge Blockchain and 
AI LayerAI, previously known as CryptoGPT, has been built to decentralize the 
data economy that powers AI growth. It&#8217;s an Ethereum-based Layer-2 protocol 
empowering users to monetize their AI data – you can earn rewards for sharing 
pristine training data. Unlike ChatGPT, which is funded privately, LayerAI 
allows the public to get a piece of its success. Also, while other AI projects 
don&#8217;t have the kind of numbers to challenge something like ChatGPT, LayerAI&#8217;s 
apps boast over 2M users at the time of writing. LayerAI has been absolutely 
dominating the AI coin market for the past few days. It bottomed out at 
$0.0016385 on March 4 and has since then risen by over 300%. It&#8217;s currently 
available for a low price of $0.006610. We say &#8216;low&#8217; because $LAI&#8217;s upside 
potential is huge. If the current momentum holds, $LAI can easily reach 
previous monthly highs of around $0.0245985. That would be a nearly 400x climb 
from its current prices. Bottom Line There&#8217;s undoubtedly a lot of value in 
AI+crypto coins like the ones mentioned above. However, with AI agents 
flooding the market, there&#8217;s also the risk of scams and rug pulls. So, it&#8217;s up 
to the investor (like you and me) to exercise caution while aiming to ride the 
growth of this highly lucrative segment. As always, we recommend you do your 
own research before investing and only jump in with an amount that doesn&#8217;t 
hurt your tummy while sleeping. Also, note that none of what&#8217;s said above 
should be considered a substitute for financial advice from a professional.
