This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1.

Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if eBay Inc moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction.

A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
