Do GC and MGC Move Together on 30-minute Charts?
Educational reference. Measured from recorded market data through September 16, 2026. Not a forecast.
Gold and Micro Gold are often assumed to move together. This measures it against 1,512 time-aligned 30-minute bars over the last 45 days — no opinion, just what the two actually did.
| Bars where both moved | 1,495 |
|---|---|
| … and moved the same direction | 1,471 (98.4%) |
| Correlation of bar-to-bar changes | +0.712 |
At 98.4% agreement and a correlation of +0.712, these two have a clear 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 30-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.
