EURUSD weekly: euro drops 111 pips to 1.14817, 2026-09-14
EURUSD gave up 111 pips over the week of 14 September 2026, with the whole loss landing in a single Wednesday session that broke 1.1500.
4 min readXAUUSD opened Monday at 4084.27 and closed Friday at 4016.28, a net loss of roughly 68 dollars, near 1.7 percent off the week's open. The high of the week printed at 4100.93 on Tuesday, and price then sold back toward 4000 by Wednesday's close. Thursday's slide to a 3969.22 low reset the tone before Friday clawed back above 4016.
The calendar carries no scheduled high-impact prints for gold this week, so the driver is positioning and the demand narrative. A Goldman Sachs note published Sunday evening suggested China's real gold accumulation may run well beyond double its official numbers, a headline that speaks directly to the central-bank demand story underpinning gold above 4000.
With no macro releases anchoring the tape, dollar moves and any follow-through on the China accumulation story become the reference points. A firmer dollar tends to press gold lower, while continued reserve-buying chatter tends to support dips. Open an LHFX account to trade XAUUSD this week.
If price holds above last week's 4016 close and pushes through the 4052 area early, the next obvious reference is the 4081 shelf from mid-week, then the 4100.93 high. If the China demand story fades and the dollar firms, a break back below the 4000 round number puts Thursday's 3969.22 low in play. Silver often tracks gold on these demand-led moves, so watch Silver for confirmation of any broad metals bid.
The LHFX book shows 56.1 percent long against 43.9 percent short as of Monday. That is a mild long tilt, so consensus leans toward continuation rather than reversal. A crowded long side can also mean sharper flushes if 4000 gives way, since stops sit under recent lows.
The 4000 round number is the pivot for the week, with last week's 3969.22 low just beneath it and the 4100.93 high capping the upside. The 4052 to 4081 band from mid-week acts as intermediate resistance. These are reference levels for context, not entry signals.
