**Bitcoin ETFs See $839 Million Inflows While Gold ETFs Lose $4.1 Billion: What’s Next?**
Gold’s shine is fading fast just as its “digital” rival, Bitcoin (BTC), recovers lost ground.
Just a week after reaching a record high above $4,381, gold has retreated by over 10.6%, sinking as low as $3,915 on Thursday—marking its steepest seven-day drop since April. This correction in gold coincides with a nearly 6.7% jump in Bitcoin’s price, highlighting a sharp divergence amid improving trade relations between the US and China.

### Trade Deal Boosts Risk Appetite
The shift followed Donald Trump’s remarks about an “amazing meeting” with Xi Jinping, during which the two leaders agreed to reduce fentanyl tariffs from 20% to 10%, effective immediately. With risk appetite improving and crypto markets heating up, traders may be rotating away from gold and back into Bitcoin in the months ahead.

### Bitcoin ETFs Attract $839 Million Amid Gold’s Plunge
US-listed Bitcoin ETFs have absorbed $839 million in net inflows since gold hit its record high on October 20, according to data from Farside Investors. Bitcoin ETF holdings have increased consecutively in the last four sessions, signaling growing investor interest.
In contrast, gold-backed ETFs experienced significant outflows, totaling about 1.064 million ounces (nearly $4.1 billion) since October 22, Bloomberg data shows. This includes the largest one-day withdrawal in over six months on Monday, when investors pulled out 0.448 million ounces of gold exposure.

### BTC Technicals Indicate Strong Support With Bullish Outlook
Bitcoin’s technical indicators now reveal a strong floor near $101,790, aligning with the 20-week exponential moving average (20-week EMA) and the 1.0 Fibonacci retracement level. Holding above this support confluence increases the chances of Bitcoin reaching $150,000 by the end of the year.
JPMorgan analysts are even more bullish, expecting BTC to hit $165,000 in 2025. They argue that Bitcoin remains undervalued relative to gold, underscoring its growing appeal as a digital store of value.

### Gold’s Bull Run Remains Intact, Analysts Say
Despite the recent correction, gold is still up around 50% year-to-date, supported by record central-bank purchases, persistent fiscal imbalances, and the ongoing “debasement trade,” where investors seek protection against ballooning government debt and weakening fiat currencies.
Metal trader David Bateman points out that gold’s bull run remains fundamentally intact. Technicals show that gold is still in a bull market correction, holding firm above its 50-day exponential moving average (50-day EMA). Historically, gold has bounced from this support every time in the past two years, leading to rebounds between 4% and 33%.

### Historical Patterns Suggest Gold Rebound Ahead
Over the past three decades, gold’s 10% corrections have consistently resulted in sharp rebounds within days, indicating these steep dips are more likely short-term bottoms than signs of deeper declines.
Data highlighted by Sabu Trades shows that the previous ten instances of such steep drops all produced positive two-month returns, averaging an 8.3% recovery. If this pattern holds, gold could revisit the $4,200-$4,250 zone by December, effectively retesting its record highs and reaffirming the metal’s broader uptrend.
Looking further ahead, gold could reach HSBC’s $5,000 target in 2026, as long as it maintains support above the 50-day EMA.
