There is no need to know the definition, just know that certain currency pairs have a certain dependence. They move hand in hand or contradictory.

We measure the correlation with percentages or coefficients from one to -one, which is the same as percentage. Correlation on forex may be positive, negative, or zero. Positive correlation can be seen, for example, in EUR/JPY and USD/JPY pairs. These two currency pairs thus move almost identically. Zero correlation, or completely independent movements, can now be seen, for example, in GBP/USD and USD/CHF. Of course, we have to remember that the correlation changes over time. Couples that correlate for a long time can break away for a while. Everything depends on the composition of the forex instrument, whether it contains a dollar, how the economies are interconnected,
