What to Watch
Unusual right now
Recent correlation (+6%) is 2.2σ from the long-run average of -75% — pair is behaving differently than usual.
Holds across regimes
Correlation is similar when markets rise (-23%) and fall (-41%) — 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.
