What to Watch
Unusual right now
Recent correlation (+10%) is 2.5σ from the long-run average of -85% — pair is behaving differently than usual.
Holds across regimes
Correlation is similar when markets rise (-1%) and fall (-10%) — reliable in both directions.
Regime-dependent
The correlation has flipped sign across time windows — not reliable as a standalone signal.
