Do GBPUSD and SPY Move Together on 5-minute Charts?

Educational reference. Measured from recorded market data through September 11, 2026. Not a forecast.

British Pound / U.S. Dollar and SPDR S&P 500 ETF are often assumed to move together. This measures it against 2,063 time-aligned 5-minute bars over the last 45 days — no opinion, just what the two actually did.

At 56.1% agreement and a correlation of +0.403, 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 5-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.
