Computed from EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, AUD/USD, NZD/USD, USD/CAD
Which currency is strongest right now?
Live relative strength of the eight major currencies, computed by averaging signed % change across every pair each currency appears in. Use it for pair selection — long the strongest, short the weakest. Updates every 5 minutes.
Strength is normalized to -100 (weakest) … +100 (strongest) on the 4H timeframe. The 1H / 4H / 1D columns show the raw average % change across all pairs that include the currency.

The three pair combinations with the largest strength gap right now. Long the strong currency, short the weak one — that's the cleanest directional bet a strength meter implies.
A currency strength meter compares how each major currency is performing right now against the rest of the FX universe. Instead of looking at one pair in isolation, it averages a currency's price action across every pair it appears in, then ranks the eight majors strongest to weakest.
We pull recent candle data for the seven USD-anchored majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, AUD/USD, NZD/USD, USD/CAD), compute the percentage change over 1H, 4H, and 1D, and average each currency's signed contribution across every pair it appears in. The result is normalized to a -100 to +100 scale where +100 is the strongest currency on that timeframe and -100 is the weakest.
The most common application is pair selection: long the strongest currency against the weakest to maximize the directional spread. A strong-vs-weak pair tends to trend more cleanly than a strong-vs-strong or weak-vs-weak pair, where the two sides cancel out.
Match the timeframe to your hold horizon. Day traders and scalpers usually watch 1H and 4H for fresh shifts; swing traders weight the 1D view. The strongest signal is when all three timeframes agree — a currency that is the strongest (or weakest) across 1H, 4H, and 1D is in a clean trend rather than a noisy bounce.
