British Pound / U.S. Dollar and Gold are often assumed to move together. This measures it against 2,705 time aligned 1 minute bars over the last 45 days — no opinion, just what the two actually did.
| Bars where both moved | 2,418 |
|---|---|
| … and moved the same direction | 1,527 (63.2%) |
| Correlation of bar to bar changes | +0.501 |
At 63.2% agreement and a correlation of +0.501, these two have a moderate tendency to move together on this timeframe.
Where the relationship breaks down
Prices moving together does not mean everything else does. The indicator pages below measure each reading separately — and momentum, trend strength and volatility frequently disagree even when price does not.

How this was measured
Every 1 minute bar recorded for both instruments in the last 45 days was aligned by timestamp. Bars where either did not move are excluded from the direction figure, since a flat bar agrees with nothing. Correlation is measured on bar to bar changes, not on price levels — two markets can both drift upward for unrelated reasons, and correlating levels would call that a relationship.
