Currency Strength Meter
Yesterday's daily reading · 8 major currencies
Which currencies were strong and which were weak, measured across all 28 major pair combinations and scored from -100 to +100. This free page shows yesterday's final reading; the live and intraday meter is part of Pro.
Reading for Saturday, July 18, 2026
Daily weighted scores, ranked strongest to weakest. Scale -100 (weakest) to +100 (strongest).
Strongest: GBP, NZD · Weakest: EUR, JPY
1d change compares with the previous trading day's final reading (Friday, July 17, 2026). Delayed data: this page updates once per day with the prior day's final reading. Historical measurement of trend behaviour, not a recommendation.
Strength by pair
Every pair sets its own two currencies against each other. Each pair page shows both sides of yesterday's reading, the strength differential between them, and the scanner's daily and 4-hour trend detail for that pair.
The live meter lives in Pro
This page shows yesterday. Pro shows now: the daily meter updated through the trading day, a separate intraday reading on a 15-minute cadence, data-freshness indicators, strength history, and the rest of the IntelliTrade dashboard.
How to read a strength score
Every pair price mixes two currencies, so a chart alone cannot tell you which side is moving it. The meter separates the two: each currency is scored by how it behaved across all 28 pair combinations of the eight majors on daily and 4-hour charts, weighted by trend confidence. A currency near +100 was gaining against nearly everything; one near -100 was losing across the board; scores inside roughly ±15 read as neutral.
The most common way traders use this context: when one currency reads clearly strong and another clearly weak, the pair between them is where recent one-sided pressure has been concentrated, which makes it a natural candidate for further chart analysis. The reading describes what the market already did. It is context for your own analysis, not a prediction and not a signal.
Currency strength questions
What is a currency strength meter?
A currency strength meter scores each currency on its own instead of quoting pairs. Every pair price mixes two currencies: EUR/USD falling can mean euro weakness, dollar strength, or both. The meter separates them by aggregating how each currency behaves across all 28 pair combinations of the eight majors, so you can see at a glance which side of a pair is doing the work.
How is the score computed?
The IntelliTrade scanner evaluates trend direction for all 28 pairs formed by USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, NZD, CAD and CHF on daily and 4-hour charts, weights each pair by its trend confidence, and nets the result per currency onto a -100 to +100 scale. +100 means the currency was strong against everything it trades against in that reading; -100 means weak across the board; scores near zero mean no clear one-sided pressure.
How current is the data on this page?
This free page shows yesterday's final daily reading and is refreshed once per day. The date of the reading is always shown above the meter. The live meter in IntelliTrade Pro updates through the trading day and adds an intraday reading on a 15-minute cadence, with data-freshness indicators.
What does the one-day change column show?
It compares each currency's score with the previous trading day's final reading, so you can see which currencies gained or lost strength into the close. When no usable previous reading exists, for example after a long market holiday, the column is omitted rather than showing a misleading figure.
Is this a buy or sell signal?
No. The meter is a measurement of recent trend behaviour, not a recommendation. Strength readings describe what already happened in the market; they do not predict what happens next, and IntelliTrade does not provide trade signals. Traders typically use strength context alongside their own analysis and risk management.
