- The US dollar (DXY) is focused on the 50% retracement level at 9867, which serves as a key support level.

05:00–10:00
- The US dollar is experiencing a rally attributed to a significant shift in Fed funds futures expectations following the CPI print, which now indicates a strong likelihood of a 25 basis point rate hike this week.
- Expectations for two rate hikes before the end of the year have surged to nearly 70%, driven by rising inflation and escalating oil prices, which are contributing to inflationary pressures.
- A break above the 9980 level in the DXY would confirm an upside bias, suggesting a potential late-month high, as this level represents a critical resistance point.
- Initial support for the DXY is positioned near 9941, coinciding with the 200-day moving average, indicating that losses should be contained within this range.
- The current market dynamics reflect a strong correlation between rising energy prices and inflation expectations, which are influencing the Fed's monetary policy outlook.
FULL
10:00–15:00
- The interest rate decision this month is only part of the market movement, as the updated Summary of Economic Projections (SCP) will provide insights into growth, inflation, and employment expectations.
- The DXY is nearing significant resistance at downtrend resistance around 9986, while the Euro is testing near-term uptrend support.
- A break below 15.63 in the Euro could trigger a larger decline, with the first major lateral support level identified at 14.72.
- Current market conditions indicate that the Euro is slipping below critical support levels, suggesting potential for further weakness.
- Although the Euro's break below 15.63 has not yet been confirmed due to the absence of a weekly close, it is currently under pressure from a near-term downtrend.
- Our interpretation: The upcoming interest rate decision and the SCP release are likely to induce volatility in FX markets, particularly impacting the Euro and DXY. A breach of 15.63 in the Euro could reflect a shift in market sentiment, increasing downward pressure on the Euro against the USD, while the DXY's resistance at 9986 may influence the dollar's near-term strength.

- The momentum barrier for the Australian dollar is currently struggling near 60, suggesting a potential risk of a deeper decline if the price breaks below the support zone.
- The Australian dollar has failed to break above the key levels of 72.13 and 72.08, despite two daily closes above these levels by just a few pips.
- A break below 71.20 for the Australian dollar could lead to a test of the next major pivot zone between 70.80 and 70.83, which includes significant swing lows from the past four months.
- While the Australian dollar remains below the objective monthly open at 71.65, there is an increased risk for a larger pullback, with the 100% extension off last month's highs being a critical level to monitor.
- Our interpretation: The Australian dollar's inability to maintain momentum above key resistance levels, combined with the risk of breaking below critical support, suggests potential for increased volatility and a larger corrective move in the near term.

- The speaker emphasizes that support and resistance levels are crucial, with the average true range (ATR) serving only as a reference for assessing their viability.
- A support target 400 pips away with an ATR of 30 pips suggests a longer timeframe for reaching that target, potentially extending to a week.
- If support breaks, it takes precedence over the ATR, underscoring the significance of basic support and resistance in trading decisions.
- In the oil market, a major pipeline disruption in Saudi Arabia is contributing to supply issues and rising prices.
- The ongoing destruction of supply chains in oil is likely to prolong current market conditions and complicate recovery efforts.
- A breach of uptrend resistance in oil could trigger a sharp rally, with a topside breach of 98.28 exposing levels around 109.67.

- Consequently, tech stocks are declining, with the NASDAQ expected to open approximately 1.5% lower.
- Saudi Arabia has confirmed the shutdown of its East West pipeline following drone attacks, affecting around 4% of global oil supply and pushing oil prices up by about 3%.
- The Federal Reserve's anticipated interest rate hike is nearly fully priced in, and any unexpected decision could shock markets and elevate yields.
- The Bank of Japan is projected to raise interest rates, which may lead to a hawkish outlook that impacts currencies and risk assets.
- Today's chart highlights WTI crude oil, which has broken its downtrend and is nearing resistance levels around 105, with potential for prices to reach 110 if supply threats continue.
- Our interpretation: The interplay of AI development concerns and geopolitical tensions affecting oil supply is likely to exert dual pressure on markets, potentially leading to inflationary pressures through energy costs while also impacting tech equities, which may face downward revisions in growth expectations.

- The Eurodollar is coiling ahead of the US CPI release, with potential upward movement following the ECB's hawkish rate hike of 25 basis points.
- Currently, the Eurodollar is trading below the 200-day moving average, and stronger-than-expected US inflation could trigger selling pressure, especially in light of rising oil prices.
- Oil prices have exhibited a bullish trend, providing mild support for the US dollar while exerting downward pressure on the Euro, an energy-importing economy.
- A break below the support level of 115.60 to 115.80 in the Eurodollar could expose the 115 handle, with further support not apparent until the 114.05 area.
- The dollar is showing bullish momentum, making higher lows and testing the 81.55 to 81.60 area ahead of the US CPI, with upward pressure against the Swiss franc due to interest rate differentials.
- Gold prices are facing downward pressure, with a potential correction towards the 4100 area if the US dollar strengthens due to rising bond yields and oil prices.

- The Dow is nearing a pivotal support level at 52,905, and a breakdown could trigger a retracement target of 51,049, reflecting potential downside pressure.
- The upcoming CPI print is crucial; a rebound above 52,900 in the Dow and maintaining support in the S&P 500 at 7,578 could invalidate current bearish signals.
- Our interpretation: The market is currently pricing in potential volatility based on key support levels across major indices, with the upcoming CPI data likely to influence USD liquidity and interest rate expectations.

- Matt Weller observes that oil prices are surging, with WTI crude surpassing $100 and Brent crude nearing $105, contributing to rising global yields.
- The 10-year US Treasury yield has risen by three basis points to 4.87%, approaching the psychologically significant 5% level ahead of the CPI report.
- The European Central Bank has raised interest rates by 25 basis points, and traders should monitor ECB President Lagarde's press conference for potential signals of further hikes.
- The upcoming US CPI report is particularly significant, with core CPI expected at 0.2%; a reading of 0.3% or higher could increase the likelihood of a Fed rate hike.
- If core CPI rounds down to 0.2%, it may allow the Fed to maintain current rates, while a reading closer to 0.3% could shift market expectations toward a rate hike.
- Today's chart of the day indicates that the US dollar index has been range-bound since mid-August, with recent price action suggesting reduced selling pressure at the support level near 9850.
- Our interpretation: A core CPI reading of 0.3% or higher could trigger a reassessment of Fed rate hike probabilities, potentially strengthening the US dollar and influencing market positioning.
