The Most Traded Currency Pairs in Forex in 2019
. .
-More than 50% of Forex trades somehow involve the US dollar.
-The most traded currency pair among them takes about 30% of the total multi-billion dollar Forex turnover.
-This pair is Euro and the US dollar.
-It is not surprising, that the EURUSD is the most traded currency pair in the world since the economies of the US and the European Union are the largest ones.

Which Currency Pairs are Most Actively Traded in Forex?
The most traded pairs broken down by categories:

-among the major pairs (“majors") and in general – EURUSD;
-among the minor pairs (“minors") – EURJPY;
-among the exotic pairs (“exotics”) – USDHKD.

The full list of most traded currency pairs, as well as their approximate trading volume, is available in the following table: the most not traded pairs will be the following: (If we limit the list only to Forex pairs (available in the trading terminal)

-among the major pairs (“majors”) – NZDUSD;;
-among the minor pairs (“minors”) – NZDCHF;
-among the exotic pairs (“exotics”) – GBPHUF.

The Most Traded Pairs by Region
What’s interesting about the chart?
-The most active trading hours in the Forex market are 7:00-16:00 (UTC). You can expect to achieve the goals set within this period. While the lowest level of currency pairs movement is from 3:00 to 7:00 (UTC).
-The peak of currency pairs’ activity is observed when the London and the New York trading sessions overlap. The most “traded time” is 15:00 (UTC).
-If countries have the same trading sessions (working hours), the currency pair will be actively traded only within the given session. As you can see in the chart above, USDCAD ignores the London session opening. Other pairs – EURGBP and AUDNZD – do the same.

Indeed. Until something fundamental in the world economy changes for whatever reason, those two currencies will remain at the top.
