Bitcoin Decouples From Gold as Crypto Continues in Bearish Phase
Another technical indicator suggests even tougher times could be in the cards for the crypto market.
- Bitcoin has been in CryptoQuant's bearish phase since August 27.
- There's been a decoupling from gold, which has been making record highs, while bitcoin struggles more than 20% below its record level of a few months ago.
- BTC's MVRV ratio is below its 365-day moving average which suggests a further price correction may be on the cards.
Investors in this current risk-averse environment appear to be favoring traditional safe-haven assets like gold as opposed to bitcoin .
The correlation between bitcoin and gold has turned sizably negative of late, according to CryptoQuant, with gold recently pushing to new record highs above $2,500 per ounce while bitcoin has been declining and now sits more than 20% below its all-time high above $73,000 from March. The move into gold and out of bitcoin has come as U.S. stocks have struggled, with the S&P 500 slipping 3.6% since August 30.

CryptoQuant's Bull-Bear Market Cycle Indicator has been in BEAR phase since Aug. 27, when BTC was trading at $62,000.
The MVRV ratio (market-value-to-realized-value), has also been below its 365-day moving average since Aug. 26, which suggests a further price correction may be on the cards, said CryptoQuant. The MVRV ratio dipping below the moving average acted as a precursor to a 36% drop in May 2021.
The decline in bitcon's price has also come alongside a drop in the U.S. dollar index, another indicator of broader risk aversion and uncertainty, according to CryptoQuant.
