Who Is This For?
Forex traders who want to quickly identify which currencies are trending strongest and weakest — ideal for finding high-probability pair selections before diving into chart analysis.
What is Currency Strength?
Currency strength measures how a single currency is performing against all other major currencies. Instead of looking at one pair in isolation, it aggregates performance across every pair that currency appears in — giving you a holistic view of momentum.
How It's Calculated
We pull the latest quote and hourly closes for all 28 major forex pairs. For each time window (1 hour up to 1 month), every currency gets the average of its moves against the other seven, then the eight are normalized to a 0-10 scale where 10 is the strongest and 0 the weakest. The percentage next to each bar is that average move.
How to Use This Tool
- Step 1: Pick a time window: 1H or 4H for intraday momentum, 24H for the day so far, 1W for swing trading, or 1M for position trading.
- Step 2: Identify the strongest and weakest currencies from the bar chart.
- Step 3: Use the suggested pair (strongest vs weakest) as your starting point for chart analysis.
Trading with Strength/Weakness
The ideal trade pairs the strongest currency against the weakest. This gives you the highest momentum alignment — you're buying what's being bought and selling what's being sold. Avoid trading pairs where both currencies are near the middle of the strength ranking, as there's no clear directional edge.
Assumptions & Edge Cases
- Strength is relative: a score of 5 means average, not neutral.
- Quotes come from Yahoo Finance and refresh every minute, so they can trail the live interbank price by a few seconds.
- Weekend/holiday data may be stale since forex markets are closed.
