Bitcoin ($94,450) dances as a macro player in 2025, its 0.1 gold correlation a spectral tie amid VIX’s 25 spike, per web trends. Recession fears (5% GDP drop) test its $1.5T cap, yet 60% HODLing signals trust—$100,000 if inflation soars, $90,000 if stocks rally. The market’s pulse, a cautious hum, positions BTC as a rebel refuge, questioning gold’s dominance. Its haven role, a fragile thread, teeters on global faith—some argue it’s a speculative mirage, not a true shield, in this economic storm.
