Overview
Spot exchange rate of the euro versus the US dollar (EUR/USD), the most heavily traded currency pair in the world by daily volume. Daily closing values.
Interpretation
- Rising EUR/USD (dollar weakening): historically supportive of risk assets including Bitcoin, since a weaker dollar boosts global liquidity in USD terms.
- Falling EUR/USD (dollar strengthening): typically coincides with risk-off regimes and tighter global conditions.
- The pair is highly correlated (inversely) with
macro_dxy, since EUR is the largest weight in the dollar index.
Use Cases
- Use as the cleanest single FX read on USD strength/weakness for BTC macro models.
- Combine with
macro_ust_10yminus 10-year Bund yields (rate differential) to model EUR/USD's monetary-policy driver. - Track around ECB and Fed meetings as a real-time policy-divergence signal that often precedes BTC moves.
