EUR/USD and the direction of the quote
EUR/USD is the US-dollar price of one euro. When the rate rises, the euro strengthens against the dollar; when it falls, the euro weakens. It is not the number of euros per dollar. That conversion uses the reciprocal rate, whose percentage change is not exactly the original change with its sign reversed.
For a dollar payment funded from a euro account, a higher EUR/USD means that the same euro amount can buy more dollars. The actual conversion also depends on the provider’s buy or sell rate and costs. The indicative chart does not include those execution terms.

Reading the euro against the dollar
All prices remain in USD per EUR. Daily change compares the latest quote with the previous available daily close. The percentage below the chart uses its first and last visible observations. A rising euro during a short session can therefore appear within a falling longer-term chart.
Simple view selects the period. Pro offers available OHLC candles and indicators calculated from them; weeks and months are built from the daily EUR/USD series. Missing observations are not interpolated. Since the series does not describe trades on one central exchange, it provides no invented total forex volume.
The crown and other assets
For Czech users, this pair complements EUR/CZK and USD/CZK. A rise in EUR/USD alone does not establish that the euro is becoming more expensive in crowns. The crown can move against both currencies at the same time; a euro payment funded in crowns depends on the crown pair.
Asset comparison normalises the original series without converting the other instruments. Comparing the pair with the S&P 500 does not represent the index’s euro return. Check each series’ unit and timestamp: a typical 24/5 market schedule does not guarantee equally recent observations.
