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 readGold opened Monday at 4074.82 on XAUUSD and closed Friday at 4278.52. The weekly high printed at 4303.93 and the low at 4018.96. That is a net gain of about 203.70 points, or roughly 5 percent on the open. Most of that move landed in a single Wednesday session.
The bundle carried no scheduled economic events for the closing week, so flows drove the tape. Wednesday told the story. Price opened at 4072.37 and ran to a high of 4281.77 before settling at 4278.01. Volume on that session reached 263,407, the heaviest of the week and well above Monday's 214,077. Buyers took control and never gave it back.
A demand signal backed the move. Chinese investors kept adding to gold ETFs in their longest buying streak since March, according to ForexLive reporting on Friday. That fund demand fits the price behaviour, with Thursday's dip to 4223.35 bought back into a 4278.52 close by Friday.
The bundle lists no scheduled high-impact events for the upcoming week. With the calendar quiet, watch the ETF flow story that carried this week. If Chinese fund buying continues at the pace ForexLive reported, dip-buying pressure typically stays in place and pullbacks get absorbed. If that flow cools, the recent range loses its bid and price tends to test lower support first. Track any surprise central bank commentary, since gold reacts hard to shifts in rate expectations even outside the formal calendar.
LHFX sentiment shows 56.2 percent of positions long and 43.8 percent short as of 2026-08-07. That is a modest long skew, not a crowded one. Consensus leans with the trend after this week's breakout, but the near even split means there is still short interest that can add fuel if price grinds higher and those positions cover.
The weekly high at 4303.93 is the first line. If price closes above it, the next obvious focus is the round 4350 area. If it rejects there, Wednesday's breakout shelf near 4278 comes back into play. Below that, the 4223.35 Thursday low is the level that held once already. A break of it opens the gap back toward the 4106.29 zone from Tuesday. Silver often tracks the same risk tone, so watch Silver for confirmation of any broader precious-metals move. You can follow both instruments live on an LHFX account with real-time commodity pricing.
