Relative Strength Index agrees more than price does. Prices correlate at +0.402, yet this reading matches 76.9% of the time. It is tracking something the two markets share beyond direction.
Why this is not the same as the price question
Two markets can move together while their momentum, trend strength or volatility do not. A
reading that agrees far less than price suggests is exactly where one market is losing steam
while the other keeps going — and a reading that agrees more is tracking something shared
that direction alone does not capture.
