What to Watch
Unusual right now
Recent correlation (-81%) is 3.2σ from the long-run average of +76% — pair is behaving differently than usual.
Decouples in drawdowns
Correlation weakens when both fall (-7%) vs when both rise (+90%) — don't count on this pair as a hedge under stress.
Regime-dependent
The correlation has flipped sign across time windows — not reliable as a standalone signal.
