ETHUSD weekly recap: swing from 1747 to 1943 fades, 2026-07-13
ETHUSD opened at 1802.99 and closed the week at 1823.36, a gain of just over 1 percent after a sharp mid-week rally faded.
3 min readYou watched GER30 open the week at 25004.4 and finish at 24722, a net move of about 282 points lower, near 1.1 percent. The weekly high printed at 25210.6 on Tuesday. The low came Friday at 24604.1. The index spent the first two sessions probing higher, then rolled over into a steady drift toward the lows.
This was a price-led week. The bundle carries no scheduled economic events or headlines for the closing week, so the tape tells the story. GER30 pushed to 25210.6 on Tuesday, failed to hold above 25200, and each subsequent session closed lower than the one before. Monday closed at 24966.3, Tuesday at 25077.1, Wednesday at 24987.6, Thursday at 24815.7, and Friday at 24722.
Friday's volume of 13132 sat far below the roughly 90,000 to 108,000 range seen earlier in the week, so the final push to 24604.1 came on thin participation. That matters when you read the close: a low-volume selloff carries less conviction than one that arrives on rising turnover.
The bundle lists no scheduled high-impact events for the coming week. With no calendar catalysts confirmed, price action and broader risk sentiment take the lead. Keep an eye on how other equity benchmarks trade, since GER30 tends to move with global risk appetite. If US and Asian indices such as the Nasdaq 100 hold firm, GER30 has a cleaner path to stabilise. If they slip, the pressure that built through the second half of last week can extend.
As of 2026-07-17, LHFX client positioning shows 61.6 percent long and 38.4 percent short. The book leans net long into a week that closed at its lows. That skew tells you consensus is fading the decline and expecting a bounce. When the majority sits long against a falling tape, any break lower can force those longs out, which can accelerate a move.
The Friday low at 24604.1 is the first line in the sand. If price closes below it, the next obvious reference is the round 24500 area. Above, the Thursday open near 25033.9 and the 25000 round number cap the immediate upside. A reclaim of 25000 puts the Tuesday high at 25210.6 back in view.
