Bitcoin ETF inflows recover as gold ETF flows reverse amid macroeconomic uncertainty.
Trading data shows Bitcoin consolidating above $113,000 with market sentiment remaining neutral.

On October 29, 2025, Cryptopolitan reported a sharp divergence between Bitcoin and gold exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows during a volatile market shift. Gold ETF outflows surged as its price fell below $4,000 per ounce, while Bitcoin ETF inflows rebounded, reflecting evolving investor preferences.

Bitcoin maintained consolidation above the $113,000 level during this period of contrasting performance. Trading sentiment for Bitcoin remained neutral, while spot gold declined to approximately $3,997.32, weighed down by uncertainties surrounding the U.S. dollar's trajectory and anticipation of the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision.

Gold’s reversal highlights the impact of broader macroeconomic forces. Cryptopolitan noted that the outflow from gold ETFs signals a recalibration of investor expectations around Federal Reserve policies. Meanwhile, Bitcoin displayed characteristics akin to risk-on assets, diverging from its traditional narrative as a safe-haven equivalent to "digital gold."

Despite the shifting dynamics, Bitcoin continues to demonstrate strong performance this year. Cryptopolitan reported that Bitcoin has achieved year-to-date gains of 56.3%, outperforming gold's gains of 45%. The correlation between Bitcoin and gold remains moderate at 0.59, suggesting a growing decoupling in their market behaviors.

Investor sentiment across both assets has stayed neutral. The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index recorded a score of 51, while gold traders showed balanced positions, split between bets on a dollar recovery and long positions. This contrast underscores Bitcoin's emerging perception as undervalued compared with gold in current market conditions.

As of October 29, 2025, 15:08 UTC, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $112,511.551, showing a 2.41% decline within 24-hour trading volume, according to Cryptopolitan.
