What to Watch
Unusual right now
Recent correlation (+20%) is 2.3σ from the long-run average of -91% — pair is behaving differently than usual.

Correlation is similar when markets rise (-5%) and fall (-7%) — reliable in both directions.
Regime-dependent
The correlation has flipped sign across time windows — not reliable as a standalone signal.
