Push the euro, then the dollar
Press "EUR stronger" a few times, then "USD stronger". Watch the price and the seesaw. Then flip the quote.
If the euro gets stronger, EUR/USD rises, for example from 1.0850 to 1.0900. If the US dollar gets stronger, EUR/USD falls. Flipped, EUR/USD 1.0850 is USD/EUR 0.9217 (1 ÷ 1.0850).
What would you expect?
What this shows: A stronger euro pushes EUR/USD up and a stronger dollar pushes it down. Flipped, EUR/USD 1.0850 is USD/EUR 0.9217.
The price tells you how many US dollars one euro costs. "Euro stronger" and "dollar weaker" describe the same move. To flip a quote, divide 1 by the price: 1 ÷ 1.0850 = 0.9217.
