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 readJPN225 opened Monday at 64,982 and closed Friday at 64,284, a net loss of roughly 698 points, or about 1.1 percent on the week. The path was far wilder than that number suggests. Tuesday ripped from an open near 64,782 to a close of 67,440, then the index bled lower every session that followed. By Friday it had unwound the entire spike and settled below where it started the week.
The bundle carries no scheduled high-impact events for the coming five sessions, so this week is about how price behaves after last week's failed breakout rather than about any single data release. The story to track is whether the reversal from Tuesday's 67,593 high extends or stalls near last week's floor. With no consensus forecast to anchor to, momentum and the reaction at prior levels carry the weight.
Absent a fresh catalyst, watch the read-across from other equity benchmarks. Moves in the DAX 30, the Nasdaq 100, or the S&P 500 tend to set the tone for risk appetite, and JPN225 rarely trades in isolation when global equities swing. Treat correlated indices as your early tell for direction this week.
If price holds above last week's close of 64,284 and pushes back through 65,362, the prior Thursday close, the mid-range around 66,561 comes back into focus. If instead the index breaks below Friday's 64,284 and last week's 64,147 low, the pressure that built through the second half of last week stays in control and the range resets lower. A firm risk-on session across the DAX 30 would tilt the odds toward the recovery case, while a broad equity pullback favours the downside path.
Client positioning shows 54.4 percent long against 45.6 percent short as of the start of this week. That is a mild long skew, not a crowded one. It tells you consensus leans toward a bounce after the pullback, but the balance is close enough that a decisive break either way could flush the weaker side quickly.
Last week's low at 64,147 and Friday's 64,284 close mark the immediate floor. Above, 65,362 and the 66,561 mid-range are the first reference points on any recovery, with last week's 67,593 high as the ceiling that capped the spike. These are reference levels for context, not entry signals.
