Mubzaveri, all forex pairs are correlated by virtue of their mathematical relationship.
There are many mathematical relationships to consider, but let me cover the very basic:
Open the chart and check the rate anytime you want, and you will notice that EUR/USD*USD/JPY=EUR/JPY. In algebra we learned that when like terms are in the numerator and the denominator, they cancel out or equal 1. In this equation, the USD's cancel out and you are left with the EUR/JPY. So, we conclude that the EUR/JPY is half related to the EUR/USD by this very relationship.
As far as the GBP/USD and USD/CHF are concerned, they are half related by virtue of the common currency, the USD. If there is a strong move in the USD Index, like what we saw this week, then it will be the USD moving those currency pairs. The USD Index moved south, so the GBP/USD has moved UP, and the USD/CHF has moved DOWN.
You are going to notice over the next several months that the GBP/CHF is going to rise much higher. During these months there will be times when the GBP/USD and USD/CHF will move north together.
There is also a way to prove mathematically how to determine which currency is going to be the strongest mover of any currency pair. If you are interested, I'll share that.
The thing I love about the mathematics of the markets is that it simply dispels so many of the theories concerning the markets' movements, and even takes the argument completely out of its respective movements.
