Analyze the relative strength of major currencies to identify trading opportunities. Buy the strongest, sell the weakest.
Strength = Average price change across all pairs containing the currency
Example: If USD rises vs EUR, GBP, JPY: USD strength index rises relative to those currencies
It compares a currency's performance across multiple pairs to calculate an overall strength index. A currency that's rising against most others scores higher.
Look for divergence: pair the strongest currency (buy) with the weakest (sell). This creates trades aligned with the dominant flow.
Currency strength can shift within hours during major economic releases or central bank decisions. Most traders reassess strength rankings at the start of each trading session.
