Measured on daily returns rather than on prices. Two assets that both simply trend upward score near 1.0 on raw prices whether or not they move together, so returns are what answer the question people mean by correlation.
| Metric | BTW | BCH |
|---|---|---|
| Max drawdown (400d) | -23.4% | -70.9% |
| Risk-adjusted return (90d) | 0.60 | 0.22 |
| Best 30 days (past year) | — | +34.0% |
| Worst 30 days (past year) | — | -56.8% |
Relative strength over 90 days: BTW outperformed BCH by 96.3% — measured on the BTW/BCH ratio, so it holds regardless of market direction.
