What is a currency strength meter?
A currency strength meter (or forex strength meter) shows how strong or weak major currencies are relative to each other, based on live forex pair movements. When EUR/USD rises, the euro is strengthening against the US dollar; when USD/JPY rises, the dollar is strengthening against the yen. By aggregating many pairs, a strength meter gives you a single view of which currencies are in demand and which are under pressure—helpful for timing entries and choosing which pairs to trade.
