You’ve got an old EURUSD quote – this week EURUSD was always > 1.53
Now 40 USD = 26.0552 EUR

The trend is your friend (or enemy) – sell USD – long EUR

Obviously your attempted tautology fails when you consider that demand here is looked at from a zimbabwenomical perspective and if you were more familiar with the concepts of zimbabwenomics, you'd see that it accounts for the very issue you raised. I recommend reading Mugabe Efficiency Theory and generally boning up your progressive economics. “Not to be anal, but actually to be considered “demand” in a purely economic sense, those comprising the demand must be both willing and able to purchase the supply.
