What to Watch
Drifting from pattern
Recent correlation (+30%) is running 1.8σ away from the long-run average of -23%.
Holds across regimes
Correlation is similar when markets rise (+2%) and fall (+7%) — 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.
