Hello, may I know why the AUDUSD chart same as AUD index chart, GBPUSD chart same as GBP index chart, EURUSD chart same as EUR index chart, INVERTED USDCAD chart same as CAD index chart, INVERTED USDJPY chart same as JPY index chart?
because they are all measured against the USD.

the 6 majors are all vs the USD
the crosses are USD/X VS USD/Y = X/Y
the only official quoted currency not measured vs the USD is the eur/jpy

Sorry I don't understand this part: "the only official quoted currency not measured vs the USD is the eur/jpy" Could you please explain?
But USD index is unique?
The USD is the reserve currency so all 6 majors are measured against it

the only OFFICIAL pair (not simply a cross) USD/X VS USD/Y = X/Y
is the EUR/JPY.

EUR/JPY is measured independently from the USD.

all other currencies not involving USD are measured in their relative strength against the USD vs relative strength against the usd.

i cant explain it any other way

do a search, go to wiki, or any other source and type in forex market structure or forex.
it will give you the structure of the market the players and how currencies are quoted

ok Thanks
Non-US dollar currency indices shouldn't move in lockstep with their denomination in dollars. However, high correlation is expected, as the dollar generally receives the largest weight in constructing the index.

If you want us to have a look at the specific charts you're talking about, please post your sources.
