In Moria, it is normal for the Balrog to sense Gandalf's presence. Similarly, it is theoretically possible that the Balrog could sense the presence of the One Ring, which was created by a spiritual incarnation of a being (Sauron) of the same species (Maia), and be drawn to it. However, the One Ring cannot affect the Balrog unless the One Ring is willing to change its bearer, and especially unless the Balrog, as a being without the desire for power and domination, desires the event of the One Ring's possession.

I love this video, but am curious about the idea that a darker force than Sauron is opposing the fellowship. I always thought that all the orcs and other baddies were Sauron's obedient slaves. Indeed, when the ring finally meets its demise, Tolkien makes a point of how those who were once enslaved are set free and become purposeless, slinking away to the shadows. Just my take on it.

You raise a great question.

“Morgoth flees into the deepest pit and begs for pardon, but his feet are cut from under him, his crown is made into a collar, and he is chained once again with Angainor. The Valar exile him permanently from the world, thrusting him through the Door of Night into the void until the prophesied Dagor Dagorath, when he will meet his final destruction. But his evil remains, and his will influences all living creatures.[T 25]”
