Currency Strength Meter

Our currency strength meter gives you a quick visual guide to which currencies are currently strong, and which ones are weak. The meter measures the strength of all forex cross pairs and applies calculations on them to determine the overall strength for each individual currency. Please see notes below for further details.

There are a range of advantages to using a currency correlation matrix as a Forex strength indicator, including its simplicity, it's usefulness as a short-term indicator, the ability to eliminate double exposure and unnecessary hedging, the ability to signal high-risk trades, and the fact that it's available for free.

For example, if the EURGBP and GBPUSD have a correlation of -91, this means they have a negative correlation - these pairs are likely to move in opposite directions, so two long trades (or two short trades) on these pairs would likely cancel each other out.

In the first pair, the GBP is the quote currency (meaning long trades expect the EUR to strengthen against the GBP). In the second pair, the GBP is the base currency (meaning long trades expect the GBP to strengthen against the USD). This means a long trade in the EURGBP is one that expects the GBP to weaken, while a long trade in the GBPUSD is one that expects the GBP to strengthen.
