Cross Pair Trading: How to Trade EUR/GBP, AUD/NZD & More Most retail traders stick to USD majors, but cross pairs (no USD involved) offer powerful setups — if you understand the mechanics. Crosses like EUR/GBP, AUD/NZD, GBP/JPY move based on relative strength between the two currencies. Key points: These pairs react to divergent monetary policy or regional risk. EUR/GBP might range 30 pips a day — but when ECB vs BOE policy diverge, it trends hard. AUD/NZD reflects commodity differentials and risk sentiment. Smart strategy: 1. Analyze both currencies individually against USD 2. Spot where one is strong, one is weak 3. Trade the cross pair in favor of the strength gap Use HTF structure and OBs for confirmation. Cross pairs often have less liquidity but more technical respect — giving precise entries for those who prepare right.
