Currency Strength Meter

A currency strength meter aggregates the performance of a single currency against every other major currency into one reading. So instead of looking at EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, EUR/JPY, EUR/AUD and so on separately, you get a single answer: is the euro strong or weak right now?

The meter above is powered by the TradingView Forex Cross Rates widget. Each row shows one currency versus every other major currency. Green cells indicate the base currency is rising against the quote, red cells indicate the opposite. The broader the green streak, the stronger the currency.

Traders use this data to quickly identify directional bias before drilling into specific pairs, to confirm breakouts, and to filter out low-quality setups where neither currency has a clear bid.

The meter above updates in real time — currencies that are green across multiple rows are the ones with the clearest momentum. US dollar moves dominate Asian and London sessions when US data is in focus. EUR is typically quieter outside eurozone data releases, while GBP shows the biggest moves around BOE decisions and UK inflation prints.

JPY and CHF behave as safe-haven currencies and tend to strengthen in risk-off environments, while AUD, NZD, and CAD are commodity-linked and often lead on risk-on days. Use the meter together with our economic calendar to understand why a currency is moving, not just that it is.
