Methodology

• Correlations are calculated using price data over the selected timeframe and candle count.
• K-means clustering groups correlated pairs into clusters based on the strength of their correlation.
• Correlation values range from +1 (100% positive correlation) to -1 (100% negative correlation).

Interpretation and Use Cases

• Positive correlations (close to +1) indicate pairs moving in the same direction. For example, GBPUSD shows strong positive correlation with USD.
• Negative correlations (close to -1) indicate opposite movements. For example, USDCHF has a -1 correlation to USD.
• An example on a 4-hour timeframe showed USD experiencing a bullish leg followed by a correction, while USDCHF moved in the opposite direction, confirming the negative correlation.
• USDJPY also demonstrated a strong negative correlation relative to the reference pair.
