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 | SPEC | ICP |
|---|---|---|
| Max drawdown (400d) | -39.5% | -77.4% |
| Risk-adjusted return (90d) | -0.15 | 0.29 |
| Best 30 days (past year) | — | +49.6% |
| Worst 30 days (past year) | — | -62.1% |
Relative strength over 90 days: ICP outperformed SPEC by 0.2% — measured on the SPEC/ICP ratio, so it holds regardless of market direction.
