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 readThe NAS100 opened the week at 28691.65 and closed Friday at 28348.21. That is a net drop of about 343 points, or roughly 1.2%. The high came Tuesday at 29190.54 and the low landed Thursday at 28273.39. Buyers pushed the index up early, then lost the ground and more by Friday.
The bundle carries no scheduled events or headlines for the closing week, so the move reads as pure price action. Monday set a base near 28527.74 before Tuesday's rally carried the index to its weekly peak at 29190.54 and a close of 29132.69. That was the strongest session of the week.
The tide turned Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday closed lower at 28976.77 after fading from 29175.36. Thursday brought the real damage: a range from 29116.11 down to 28273.39 and a close at 28518.71, giving back the entire Tuesday gain. Friday extended the slide on thin volume of 77997, closing at 28348.21 near the lows.
The bundle lists no scheduled high-impact events for the upcoming week. With no calendar catalysts loaded, price action and follow-through from Friday's weakness carry the tape. If risk appetite steadies and the index reclaims lost ground, the Tuesday close near 29132 becomes the level bulls need to prove. If selling pressure continues, the Thursday low near 28273 is the first floor buyers must defend.
Retail positioning skews long at 54.8% against 45.2% short as of 2026-07-24. That is a modest long lean. With the index closing near its weekly low, a majority of longs are sitting on unrealised drawdown. A crowded long book can add downside fuel if those positions get flushed, since forced exits sell into weakness.
The Thursday low at 28273.39 is the immediate downside marker. A close below it opens the door toward the round 28000 handle. On the upside, the Friday close at 28348.21 caps the current range, and a push back above 28563.21, Friday's high, would be the first sign buyers are stepping back in. Above that, the recovery target of note is the 29132 area where Tuesday's rally topped out. You can compare this move against a broader index like the S&P 500 to gauge whether the weakness is index-specific or market-wide, and you can track both live on your LHFX account.
