EUR/USD keeps making lower highs and lower lows, and just touched its weakest level of 2026 (~1.1216). With the Fed hiking faster than the ECB, the dollar has the upper hand. Here's a defined-risk way to trade that view: the bear call spread.

📊 Example setup (CME Euro FX options, expiry Fri, Oct 9):

  • Sell 1.1300 Call / Buy 1.1350 Call
  • Credit ≈ 12 pips ($150) ✅ Max profit ≈ $150 if EUR/USD stays below 1.1300 ❌ Max loss ≈ $475 if EUR/USD rises above 1.1350 ⚖️ Breakeven ≈ 1.1312

⚠️ This week: US ISM Services (Monday), the FOMC minutes and ECB speakers. An oversold euro can snap back hard.
