What is currency strength?

Currency pairs (symbols) are made up of two individual currencies. Currency strength in Forex market means analysis the currencies value during specify time for example when GBPUSD and EURUSD go up and USDCHF and USDJPY fall down during last 4 hours it means that US dollar value decreasing this knowledge give us good view too analyze market for instance according to above example when we analyze AUDUSD and we saw sell signal on it we should think more about our analyze accuracy because US dollar value decreasing now well AUDUSD should go up here we can think about 2 scenarios:

  • Us dollar value will effect on AUD later
  • AUD value is decreasing more than US dollar.

To understand this, we can look at the other currencies value vs Australian Dollar value like GBPAUD EURAUD AUDJPY etc. If we found that AUD value is decreasing vs the other currencies, it will show us our signal is correct but if it shows us AUD value vs other currencies is not decreasing it can show us our signal can’t be correct.
