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 started the week watching EURUSD open at 1.14039. Monday dipped to a low of 1.1377 before buyers stepped in. The pair pushed to a weekly high of 1.14819 on Wednesday, then settled back to close Friday at 1.14426. Net move on the week was about 39 pips higher, a gain of roughly 0.34 percent from the Monday open.
The bundle carried no scheduled economic prints this week, so the tape ran on flow and headlines. The steady drift higher through Tuesday and Wednesday came against a backdrop of soft European corporate news. Husqvarna missed on Q2 earnings, citing weak Europe demand and bad weather, and Billerud reported a Q2 sales decline it tied to European weakness. Neither dragged the euro down. That tells you the currency was trading on broader dollar positioning rather than single-name results.
A tech selloff running deeper ahead of European trading capped the back half of the week. Thursday and Friday saw EURUSD pull off its 1.14819 high and stabilise near 1.1443, with Friday volume thin at 11712 versus the 58112 seen Monday. Lighter participation into the weekly close kept the range tight, from 1.14341 to 1.14477 on the final session.
The bundle lists no high-impact scheduled events for the coming week. With the calendar empty, price is more likely to take its lead from dollar flows and any surprise headlines. If risk sentiment stabilises and the dollar softens, the euro tends to hold gains and probe the recent highs. If the tech selloff spreads and a risk-off bid lifts the dollar, the euro typically gives back ground toward the week's lower boundaries. Watch how the pair reacts to the first sessions rather than committing early.
As of 2026-07-17, LHFX client positioning showed 52.1 percent long and 47.9 percent short on EURUSD. That is a slight long skew, close to balanced. A near-even book means consensus is not crowded in either direction, which limits the fuel for a sharp squeeze against the majority. When positioning sits this tight, price often needs a fresh catalyst to break out of range.
The weekly high at 1.14819 is the first ceiling. If price closes above it, the next obvious round-number draw is 1.1500. The Wednesday close near 1.14694 sits just below as intraday resistance. On the downside, the Monday low at 1.1377 is the level in play. If that breaks, attention shifts back toward 1.1350. For a contrasting dollar read, you can compare the euro's grind with GBP/USD to see whether the move is euro-specific or broad dollar weakness.
