Understanding Forex Correlations

Forex pairs don’t move in isolation. Some move together, while others move in opposite directions. Knowing these relationships can help you manage risk and find better trade setups.
Forex correlations show how currency pairs interact. EUR/USD and GBP/USD often move together, while USD/JPY and EUR/USD usually move in opposite directions. If a trader goes long on both EUR/USD and GBP/USD, they’re doubling exposure to a similar move.
Understanding correlations helps with risk management. Avoiding overexposure by diversifying trades across less-correlated pairs reduces risk. Pairing a EUR/USD trade with a USD/JPY trade spreads risk rather than doubling it.
Correlations change over time due to market conditions, so keeping an eye on updates is important. Using correlation tables or indicators helps traders stay informed and adjust strategies as needed.
