Are you a visual learner?
Do you find that you learn and retain information best through visual aids?
Are you more likely to be drawn in by visual content that features attractive individuals, such as fitness or lifestyle influencers?
In other words, do you like looking at sexy women or hunky men?
If so, wonderful! We have the perfect thirst traps. Take a look at the following tables.
Each table shows the relationship between each main currency pair (in orange) and other currency pairs (in white) over various time frames.
Remember, currency correlation is presented in decimal format by a correlation coefficient, simply a number between -1.00 and +1.00.What is Correlation Coefficient?
A correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that quantifies the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.
- Strength: It tells us how closely the two variables move together.
- Direction: It indicates whether they move in the same direction (positive correlation) or opposite directions (negative correlation).
Correlation coefficients range from -1 to +1
Positive Correlation (+1):
- When the correlation value is close to +1, it means the variables have a strong positive relationship.
- This is like a dance where if one partner moves forward, the other follows. For example, the more you study (one variable), the better your grades might be (the other variable).
Negative Correlation (-1):
- A value close to -1 indicates a strong negative relationship.
- Think of it as a seesaw: when one side goes up (increase in one variable), the other goes down (decrease in the other variable). For example, the more you exercise, the less stressed you might feel.
No Correlation (0):
- A value around 0 suggests no relationship. It’s like two strangers passing in the night; what happens to one has no effect on the other.
- For instance, the number of hours you sleep might have no relation to the stock market movements (unless you’re a sleep-deprived trader!).
So what does all this have to do with currency pairs?
A coefficient near or at +1 indicates that the two pairs have a strong positive correlation and will likely move in the same direction.
In the same respect, a coefficient near or at -1 indicates that the two pairs still have a strong correlation, but a negative one, resulting in the pairs moving in opposite directions.
A coefficient near or at zero indicates a very weak or random relationship.
