The Top 10 of the Ranking and Rating list for the coming week shows the following stronger currencies being well represented for going long: CAD(4X)  followed by the CHF(3X) and the USD(2X). The weaker currencies are the GBP(4X) followed by the JPY(3X) and the EUR(2X).
A nice combination for coming week may be e.g:

• GBP/CAD with the CHF/JPY
• GBP/USD with the EUR/CAD
• USD/JPY with the GBP/CHF

Some of the pairs in the Top 10 comply for a longer term trade based on the Technical Analysis (TA) of the Daily and Weekly chart. For the coming week these seem to be: GBP/CAD, GBP/USD, CAD/JPY, EUR/CAD, USD/JPY, AUD/CAD and EUR/CHF. For more details read both of my articles where the relevant Charts and Tables are provided.

Currency Score Chart

The Currency Score analysis is one of the parameters used for the Ranking and Rating list which is published also in this article. The Currency Score is my analysis on the 8 major currencies based on the technical analysis charts using the MACD and Ichimoku indicator on 4 Time Frames: the monthly, weekly, daily and 4 hours. The result of the technical analysis is the screenshot below.

When comparing the 13 weeks Currency Classification with the recent Currency Score, as provided in the image above, we can determine the deviations. In the article "Forex Strength and Comparison" this is analyzed in more detail. Currencies with a high deviation seem less interesting to trade because they are less predictable. A good example at the moment is/are e.g. the CAD and NZD. Unless a clear opportunity based on the longer term is shown it seems best to be avoided.
