The 13 Weeks Currency Strength and the 13 Weeks Average are provided here below. This data and the “13 weeks Currency Classification” are considered for deciding on the preferred range. 

   1. First of all the strength over a period of the last 13 weeks is considered. See each row for more information.
   2. Next, the 13 weeks average is considered, see the last row called “Avg. 13 wks.”
   3. The number of weeks that a currency was stronger than another currency can also be considered.
   4. The Technical Analysis (TA) Charts for each Time Frame could also be consulted.

Strong: USD, NZD, AUD, CAD. The preferred range is from 5 to 8.

Weak: JPY, EUR, GBP. The preferred range is from 1 to 3.

Score of 3,6154 and may become a Neutral currency if it continues to gain strength.
The NZD and CAD lost a lot of strength in the last 2 weeks and one of these currencies may become a Neutral currency in the coming weeks.
