Live Currency Strength Meter
FXStrength shows the relative strength of the 8 major currencies — USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CHF, CAD, NZD — plus gold (XAU), silver (XAG) and Bitcoin (BTC), across three timeframes at once. Each score is the currency's average move against the other seven, so you can see which currencies are strong, which are weak, and where the daily, weekly and intraday reads line up. Bitcoin trades 24/7, so there's always something live — even at the weekend when FX is closed.
Strength grid
How to read: each cell is a currency's strength on that timeframe —
0 = weakest, 10 = strongest, shaded green (strong) → red (weak).
The arrow is the short-term direction: ▲ rising · ▼ falling · — flat.
A row that's green across all three columns is aligned strong — the highest-conviction read.
Gold (XAU), silver (XAG) and Bitcoin (BTC) are scored
against their own normal volatility — 0–10 = weak→strong for that asset
— so their scores aren't directly comparable to the currencies.

Strength trend
Each line is a currency's strength — its average % move against the other seven — since the session open (00:00 UTC). So the vertical axis is a % move: above 0 = gaining on the pack, below 0 = losing ground. When two lines cross, strength has shifted between those currencies, often the start of a move in that pair.

Risk sentiment
—Risk-on favours the commodity currencies (AUD/NZD/CAD), stocks and Bitcoin; risk-off favours safe havens (USD/JPY/CHF) and gold. The gauge reads the currencies; VIX and the S&P show whether the broader market agrees. Context, not a signal.
Top trade ideas
The biggest strength gaps right now — the idea is to buy the strong currency and sell the weak one. A wider gap means a clearer imbalance. This is information, not a signal to act — not financial advice.

What is a currency strength meter?
A currency strength meter shows how each currency is performing against a basket of the others, instead of in a single pair. That isolates the individual currency — so rather than only asking "is EUR/USD up?", you can see whether a move is EUR strength, USD weakness, or both. FXStrength tracks the 8 major currencies — USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CHF, CAD, NZD — plus gold, silver and Bitcoin, live, across three timeframes at once.
How to read the meter
Each row is a currency (or gold, silver, Bitcoin); each column is a timeframe — intraday, daily and weekly. Scores run 0 (weakest) to 10 (strongest), shaded red → green, with an arrow for the short-term direction (▲ rising, ▼ falling, — flat). A row that's green across all three columns is aligned strong — the highest-conviction read.
How it's calculated
For each currency we take its percentage move against each of the other seven majors, across all 28 pairs, measured from the start of the window, and average them. A positive score means it has gained ground on the pack; a negative score means it has lost ground. Gold, silver and Bitcoin are measured the same way against the fiat basket, but their 0–10 score is scaled to each asset's own volatility — so a gold or Bitcoin reading is "strong for that asset," not directly comparable to the currencies.
How to use it
Look for currencies that are strong on the higher timeframes (weekly, daily) and pair them against currencies that are weak. When the intraday read agrees with the higher-timeframe trend, that alignment is where the highest-conviction moves tend to form. FXStrength is an information tool — what you do with it is your decision.
How often it updates
The data refreshes through the trading day (roughly every 15 minutes). FX markets are closed at weekends; Bitcoin trades 24/7, so there's always something live.
Frequently asked questions
What is currency strength?
Currency strength measures how a currency is performing against a basket of other currencies, rather than in a single pair. It isolates the individual currency, so instead of only asking "is EUR/USD up?" you can see whether the move is EUR strength, USD weakness, or both.
How do I read the strength grid?
Each row is a currency (or gold, silver, Bitcoin) and each column is a timeframe: intraday, daily and weekly. The score runs 0 to 10, where 0 is the weakest and 10 the strongest, shaded red to green, with an arrow for short-term direction. A row that is green across all three timeframes is aligned strong.
How is currency strength calculated?
For each currency, FXStrength averages its percentage move against each of the other seven majors across all 28 currency pairs, measured from the start of the selected window. Gold, silver and Bitcoin are measured the same way against the fiat basket, but their 0 to 10 score is normalized to each asset's own volatility.
How often does FXStrength update?
The data refreshes through the trading day, roughly every 15 minutes. FX markets are closed at weekends, while Bitcoin trades 24/7, so there is always something live.
What do the 0 to 10 scores and the arrows mean?
0 is the weakest and 10 the strongest; green means strong and red means weak. The arrow shows the short-term direction over recent bars: up means rising, down means falling, and a dash means flat.
How are gold, silver and Bitcoin scored?
They are scored against their own normal volatility, where 0 to 10 means weak to strong for that asset. A metal or crypto routinely moves several percent when the biggest fiat move is under one percent, so their score means "strong for that asset" and is not directly comparable to the currencies.
