DXY trades around 100.18 as Fed cut odds swing

"Overnight, Waller and Daly supporting Dec cut, further helped to boost Dec rate cut probability back to 77%. Despite the swings, the quantum of cut from now till end-2026 remained relatively steady at around 90bps cumulative of cuts. 'Noise' from Fedspeaks should diminish as there is no more scheduled Fedspeaks this week while Fed communications enter a blackout starting this Sat."

"Technical price action (spinning top) indicates indecision and also signaled some weakness in the recent USD rebound (likely in anticipation of catalyst). 2-way trades are likely to persist in the interim. Support at 99.50/70 levels (21 DMA, 61.8% fibo), 99.10 (50% fibo retracement of May high to Sep low). Resistance at 100.6 (76.4% fibo)."
