Moderate inverse
A real but noisy link — useful as context, risky as a standalone signal.

What to Watch
Holds across regimes
Correlation is similar when markets rise (-8%) and fall (-8%) — reliable in both directions.
Regime-dependent
The correlation has flipped sign across time windows — not reliable as a standalone signal.
Time Series
Time-Shifted Correlation
See how correlation changes when one series is offset in time. A taller bar at a non-zero shift means the two move together better when one leads the other — that's a potential lead/lag signal.
