Trading a currency basket allows a trader to see the overall strength or weakness of the certain currency. Tracking a currency basket also allows a trader to search and enter multiple trading entries, meaning if a certain currency is showing strength or weakness, you can be sure that it is showing it’s strength or weakness across the board against other currencies. The charts below shows breakout patterns and other trading strategies to confirm which side to trade which was Aussie weakness this past trading week (January 26/2020 – January 31/2020).
A trader should never trade off one strategy and should always combine strategies together to get a better read of the market.
