Indices

S&P 500 vs Nasdaq Composite

S&P 500 vs Nasdaq

The S&P 500 tracks 500 of the largest US-listed companies across every sector. The Nasdaq Composite is more concentrated in tech and biotech and trades with higher beta to growth narratives.

S&P 500 vs Dow Jones Industrial Average

S&P 500 vs Dow Jones

The S&P 500 is market-cap-weighted across 500 stocks. The Dow is price-weighted across just 30 industrial names. Same market, very different dispersion characteristics.

Nasdaq Composite vs Dow Jones Industrial Average

Nasdaq vs Dow Jones

Nasdaq is tech-heavy and growth-oriented; the Dow is value-tilted with only 30 names. The spread between them tells you which regime is dominating risk appetite.

CBOE Volatility Index vs S&P 500

VIX vs S&P 500

The volatility 'fear gauge' versus the index it's derived from. The negative correlation is structural, but the magnitude of each VIX spike calibrates how rare the move is.

Crypto

Bitcoin vs Ethereum

Bitcoin vs Ethereum

Bitcoin is the store-of-value asset of crypto. Ethereum is the programmable settlement layer. Their correlation is high day-to-day, but capital rotates between them on narrative shifts.

Ethereum vs Solana

Ethereum vs Solana

Ethereum is the incumbent smart-contract platform; Solana is the high-throughput challenger. Compare on settlement speed, fees, and developer activity.

Bitcoin vs S&P 500

Bitcoin vs S&P 500

Once supposed to be uncorrelated, BTC has tracked the S&P closely through every Fed-driven regime. The 90-day correlation is the cleanest read on that thesis.

Commodities

Bitcoin vs Gold

Bitcoin vs Gold

The classic 'digital gold' debate. Gold has 5,000 years of monetary history; Bitcoin has 15. Both are scarce, neither is a productive asset, and both trade against the US dollar regime.

Gold vs Silver

Gold trades primarily on monetary regime and central-bank demand. Silver is half precious-metal, half industrial input (solar, electronics), which makes its beta to growth higher.

Crude Oil vs Natural Gas

Crude Oil vs Natural Gas

Crude is global, priced in USD, driven by OPEC discipline + demand cycles. Natural gas is regional (Henry Hub vs TTF) and weather-driven on shorter timescales.

FX

EUR/USD vs GBP/USD

EUR/USD vs GBP/USD

The two biggest G10 crosses against the dollar. EUR/USD reflects ECB policy and continental growth; GBP/USD adds UK-specific gilt and political risk on top.

Equities

NVIDIA vs AMD

Two faces of the AI compute trade. NVIDIA dominates training-class GPUs and the CUDA software moat; AMD is the credible second source with growing data-center share.

NVIDIA vs Tesla

NVIDIA vs Tesla

Two retail-favourite mega-caps with very different business models: GPUs for AI infrastructure vs vehicles + energy + (eventually) robotaxis. Both trade on narrative, not just earnings.

Apple vs Microsoft

Apple vs Microsoft

The two biggest US companies by market cap. Apple is a consumer hardware platform with services upside; Microsoft is cloud (Azure) plus Office plus an OpenAI partnership.

Alphabet vs Meta Platforms

Alphabet vs Meta

Two digital-ad duopolies on different curves: Alphabet is defending Search vs AI disruption; Meta is the most aggressive AI capex spender in the ad space.

ETFs

Invesco QQQ Trust vs SPDR S&P 500 ETF

QQQ vs SPY

QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100 — tech-tilted, no financials. SPY tracks the S&P 500 — broader, more value exposure. The QQQ/SPY ratio is a clean tech-vs-broad-market gauge.

Technology Select Sector SPDR vs Financial Select Sector SPDR

XLK (Tech) vs XLF (Financials)

The cleanest tech-vs-financials pair trade. XLK rallies on falling rates and AI capex; XLF rallies on steeper curves and credit normalisation.

iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond vs SPDR S&P 500 ETF

TLT vs SPY

Long bonds versus broad equities — the canonical risk-on / risk-off pair. The TLT/SPY ratio tells you whether the market is rotating into duration or into growth.
