Yes, but why? Can someone explain the fundamentals behind that to me?

It depends mainly on volatility of GBPUSD and NZDUSD,
as the trading volume of GBPNZD itself is only 0.64% of all 28 currency pairs
(majors and crosses of 8 currencies).

In short, GBPNZD is highly volatile due to low liquidity.

These highly volatile "cross" pairs should never be traded by inexperienced traders. At times you will see 300-500 pip moves in a day with GBPNZD with sudden bursts of 50 to 100pip moves that almost appear out of nowhere so it's safe to say, you can't trade these pairs on the lower timeframes with simple technical analysis.

If you want to trade volatile cross pairs, the Daily chart and smaller position sizes is where you will win and preserve your capital.

Remember:

• Low liquidity = More Volatility
• High liquidity = Less Volatility

Hope this helps!

Maybe, some good opportunities for triangular arbitrage could take place
for GBPNZD and (GBPUSD, NZDUSD) or (EURGBP, EURNZD) or (GBPJPY, NZDJPY), etc.

Volatility is important. If there are indicators to list this chart in due course, that would be great!

It is the teacher's definition of volatility.

In my impression, the British pound is the most volatile currency, which is of course smaller than gold and oil. It is more volatile than other currencies. So, technical analysis, for the pound, the parameters seem to be slightly different.
