What is a Currency Heat Map?

A Currency Heat Map shows the relative strength of major currencies by analyzing their performance across all cross pairs.

Instead of looking at individual pairs, the heat map aggregates data from 28 combinations of USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, CHF, and NZD to determine which currencies are strong and which are weak.

This helps traders identify momentum and find high-probability trades by pairing the strongest currency against the weakest.

We fetch the daily change % for all 28 cross-pair combinations, then average the change for each currency across all pairs it appears in.

Look for the strongest and weakest currencies, then trade the pair that combines them. For example, if USD is strongest and JPY is weakest, look for long USD/JPY setups.

Check at the start of your trading session and periodically throughout. Currency strength can shift with major news events.
