Forex Currency Score Classification for Week 1 / 3-January-2016

This article provides Currency Classification for the coming weeks. It is recommended to read the page Currency score explained and Models in practice for a better understanding of the article. This article will provide my analysis on the 8 major currencies based on the technical analysis charts using the MACD and Ichimoku indicator on 4 time frames: the monthly, weekly, daily and 4 hours. The result of the technical analysis is the 2 screenshots in this article showing the Currency Score and the Currency Score Difference.

 Last 3 months currency classification

The last 3 months currency classification from a longer term perspective are provided here with the new charts:

• Strong: USD / NZD. The preferred range is from 7 to 8.
• Average: JPY, GBP, AUD. The preferred range is from 4 to 6.
• Weak: EUR, CHF, CAD. The preferred range is from 1 to 3.
  

The NZD has become a strong currency and switched places with the GBP which is now an average currency.
The CAD has become a weak currency and switched places with the AUD which is now an average currency.
For now the average and weak classification categories contain 3 currencies while the strong classification has only 2 currencies.

Here below are the charts providing the Currency classifications. There are three charts showing resp. the strong, average and weak currencies.
