What is a Currency Heat Map?
A Currency Heat Map shows the relative strength of major currencies by analyzing their performance across all cross pairs.
Instead of looking at individual pairs, the heat map aggregates data from 28 combinations of USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, CHF, and NZD to determine which currencies are strong and which are weak.
This helps traders identify momentum and find high-probability trades by pairing the strongest currency against the weakest.
