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 1.0846 and close Friday at 1.0186. The weekly high printed at 1.0852 early in the week, and the low reached 1.0122 on Friday. That is a net move of about 660 pips lower, or roughly 6.1 percent off the open. Every daily candle closed red.
A firmer US dollar set the tone. The Asia-Pacific FX wrap on 6 August noted the dollar moving higher with yields ahead of the jobs report, and risk assets like XRP leaked lower into that print. The heaviest single day was Thursday, when price fell from a 1.0595 open to a 1.0324 close, cutting through the 1.0500 area without a pause.
China policy added weight. The PBOC set its USD/CNY reference rate weaker than the Reuters estimate that day. A softer yuan fix tends to firm the dollar broadly, and that backdrop kept pressure on crypto through the second half of the week.
The bundle carries no scheduled high-impact events for the coming week. That leaves price sensitive to dollar flows and follow-through from the jobs report. If the dollar keeps firming on strong data, crypto typically stays offered and rallies get sold. If the dollar softens, XRP has room to retrace part of this week's loss as risk appetite returns. Watch how Bitcoin trades, since XRP tends to follow the broader crypto tape.
Client positioning shows 69.4 percent long against 30.6 percent short. That is a heavy long skew into a week where price fell every day. When the crowd stays long into a decline, it signals traders leaning against the trend, and it leaves scope for stop runs lower if support gives way.
The Friday low at 1.0122 is the first line. If price closes below it, sellers stay in control and the next test comes from open air beneath that low. On the upside, 1.0324 marks Friday's open and the prior day's close. If price reclaims that and pushes on, the 1.0500 area that broke on Thursday is the next obvious test.
