Using the currency strength pyramid, you can find out which is the strongest currency out of GBP and EUR. If GBP is stronger than EUR, you should choose the GBP/JPY, or if EUR is stronger than GBP, you should pick the EUR/JPY.
- Avoiding the Flat Market
Suppose your trading strategy provides a buying opportunity on AUD/JPY. You find the Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen arranged adjacently in the currency strength pyramid.
It reflects a situation in which both of the currencies are either strongest or weakest at the same time. Having both the tendencies together will end up as a sideways market.
Currency Pairs Correlation in Detail
Generally speaking, correlation is a statistical method to measure the relationship between two trading assets. Currency Correlation shows an extent to which two currency pairs move in the same, opposite, or random within a particular period.
- A correlation of +1 is known as the perfect positive correlation. It means that the two currency pairs will move in the same direction 100% of the time, such as EUR/USD and GBP/USD.
- A correlation of -1 is known as the perfect negative correlation. It means that the two currency pairs will move in the opposite direction 100% of the time, such as EUR/USD and USD/CHF.
- A correlation of 0 means the relationship between two currency pairs is random. Their price movement is not related to each other.
- Positive Correlation Strength
- Weak Positive Correlation (10% to 40%) = Tradable
- Medium Positive Correlation (40% to 60%) = Trade with caution
- Strong Positive Correlation (60% to 100%) = Never Trade
- Negative Correlation Strength
- Weak Negative Correlation (-10% to -40%) = Tradable
- Medium Negative Correlation (-40% to -60%) = Trade with caution
- Strong Negative Correlation (-60% to -100%) = Never Trade
