NZD/USD strength questions

What does the NZD/USD currency strength reading show?

It shows how the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) and the US Dollar (USD) each scored in yesterday's daily strength reading, on a -100 to +100 scale. Each score aggregates that currency's trend behaviour across all 28 pair combinations of the eight majors, not just NZD/USD itself, so you can see which side of the pair carried the recent pressure.

What is the NZD/USD strength differential?

The differential is the NZD score minus the USD score. A large positive differential means the New Zealand Dollar read broadly stronger than the US Dollar in yesterday's reading; a large negative one means the reverse; values near zero mean the two currencies read similarly. It is a summary of measured trend behaviour, not a forecast for NZD/USD.

What do the daily and 4-hour trend reads for NZD/USD mean?

Alongside the per-currency scores, the scanner records the trend direction it measured on the NZD/USD daily and 4-hour charts, a combined read when both agree, a multi-timeframe confidence figure, and the price level of the last break of structure it detected on each timeframe. These describe the state of the NZD/USD chart at the exact time of the reading, which is shown on the page. Because this free page carries yesterday's reading, several 4-hour candles have closed since: the daily read usually still applies the next day, but the live 4-hour state can already differ from the chip shown here.

How current is this NZD/USD data, and is it a signal?

This free page shows yesterday's final daily reading and updates once per day, so everything on it, including the 4-hour detail, is a snapshot from the reading time shown, not the current chart. The live meter updated through the trading day is part of IntelliTrade Pro. Nothing here is a trade signal or recommendation: strength readings measure what already happened in the market and are meant as context for your own NZD/USD analysis.
