Currency Strength Meter

Which currencies are strong right now — and which are weak?

USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, NZD, CAD, CHF — the relative strength of all 8 major currencies is calculated and displayed as a ranked list. Pairs that combine a strong currency with a weak one tend to produce cleaner trends.

What It Does

  • Ranks the relative strength of the 8 major currencies
  • Calculates relative strength from the rate of change across multiple currency pairs
  • Displays strength visually using bar length and color
  • The timeframe and lookback period used for calculation are configurable

Download
