Taking a short position in EURUSD means you're selling the Euro and buying the US Dollar. This means you expect the value of the Euro to decrease relative to the USD. For example, if you short EURUSD at 1.2000 and the price falls to 1.1950, you profit from the 50 pip decrease. However, if the price rises, you incur a loss.
Conversely, taking a long position in EURUSD means you're buying the Euro and selling the US Dollar. This means you expect the value of the Euro to increase relative to the USD. For example, if you long EURUSD at 1.2000 and the price rises to 1.2050, you profit from the 50 pip increase. However, if the price falls, you incur a loss.

The EURUSD pair represents the exchange rate between the Euro and the US Dollar. It shows how many US Dollars are needed to purchase one Euro.
EURUSD prices are influenced by several factors, including interest rate differentials between the Eurozone and the United States, economic data releases, and geopolitical events.
For example, if the European Central Bank (ECB) announces an interest rate hike while the Federal Reserve maintains its rates, the Euro may strengthen against the Dollar, driving the EURUSD pair higher. Conversely, if the US releases strong economic data, such as higher GDP growth, it could boost the Dollar, causing EURUSD to fall.
An example scenario:
If you take a long position in EURUSD at 1.2000, anticipating the ECB will raise interest rates, and the rate increases as expected, the price might rise to 1.2050. You would then profit from the 50 pip increase. However, if the ECB does not raise rates and the price falls to 1.1950, you would incur a loss.
