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 readYou watched XRPUSD open Monday at 1.0831 and close Friday at 1.0789, a net loss of roughly 0.4 percent, about 42 pips. The week was not quiet. Price stretched to a high of 1.1272 on Wednesday and dipped to a low of 1.0504 on Monday. That is a range of more than 700 pips packed into a five session window, and the token gave back most of its mid-week gains by the close.
The bundle carries no scheduled crypto specific economic events for the week, so the action was driven by flow and broader macro tone. Monday sold off to 1.0504 before buyers stepped in, and Tuesday closed strongly at 1.1092 to set up the Wednesday push to 1.1272. From there the tape reversed. Thursday closed at 1.0843 and Friday drifted to 1.0789 on much thinner volume, 17145 versus the mid week readings above 56000.
The macro backdrop was dominated by the People's Bank of China fixing. The PBOC set the USD/CNY reference rate firmer than the Reuters estimate. A firmer dollar fix tends to pressure risk assets, and XRPUSD losing altitude into Friday fits that read.
The bundle lists no scheduled high-impact events for the upcoming week. With the calendar bare, price is likely to take its cue from the broader crypto complex and from any surprise dollar or PBOC headlines. If the USD/CNY fix continues to print firmer than estimates, risk assets including XRPUSD can stay under pressure. If the fix eases back toward the estimate, that pressure can lift and give buyers room. Watch Bitcoin as the lead for the whole space, since XRPUSD tends to follow the larger cap on both up and down legs.
LHFX client positioning sits at 69.5 percent long and 30.5 percent short as of the Friday reading. That is a heavy long skew. When consensus is this crowded on one side, a move against the majority can force fast unwinding, which adds fuel to any downside break. The skew tells you retail conviction stayed bullish even as price faded from the 1.1272 high.
The Friday close at 1.0789 sits just above the Thursday low near 1.0763. If price closes below 1.0763, the Monday low at 1.0504 comes back into view. On the upside, if buyers reclaim the round 1.1000 level and hold it, the week's high at 1.1272 is the next obvious reference. A rejection at 1.1000 keeps the fade in play.
