A year of buying USD
Over the last 37 days USD closed between $78.41 (September 14, 2026) and $103.74 (October 6, 2026). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $121 today; at the high, $91. The current price $94.82 is above 26 of those 37 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 70% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves USD by 4.1%: a $1,000 position swings about $41 a day.
