The <strong>5-, 10-, and 30-day moving averages<\/strong> are converging just below the 99.00 level, suggesting indecision and a lack of clear directional momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A decisive breakout above <strong>99.00<\/strong> could open the way toward <strong>100.00<\/strong>, while failure to hold above <strong>98.50<\/strong> may see the index retest support near <strong>97.80<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>MACD<\/strong> indicator shows neutral momentum, with both the MACD and signal lines flattening around the zero axis. The histogram\u2019s muted profile confirms that neither bulls nor bears currently hold dominance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fundamentally, traders remain hesitant to take large positions before upcoming <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/10\/27\/cnbc-daily-open-us-consumer-inflation-data-catalyzes-stock-rally.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">U.S. employment and inflation data<\/a><\/strong>, which could reshape <strong>rate-cut expectations for early 2026<\/strong>. Softer figures could pressure the dollar as markets price in earlier easing, while stronger readings may revive bullish momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, the <strong>USDX is steady but lacks conviction<\/strong>, consolidating below the psychological <strong>99.00 resistance<\/strong>. A breakout on either side of the current range will likely define the next directional move, with market focus firmly on economic data to provide clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dollar is likely to remain range-bound ahead of <strong>Friday\u2019s US employment data<\/strong> and the outcome of the <strong>Trump\u2013Xi summit<\/strong>. While the Fed\u2019s policy stance supports a firm greenback, any signs of progress on trade or softer inflation readings could temper bullish momentum in the coming sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Create your live VT Markets account<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.vtmarkets.com\/login?_gl=1*5vyjdn*_gcl_au*Njc1MzM0NjY0LjE3NTEzNTM4MTc.*_ga*MjA5ODA0NDIzNC4xNzI3OTE1ODQ1*_ga_J26NL1ZVX7*czE3NTE4NzkxMDYkbzMwOCRnMSR0MTc1MTg3OTExOCRqNDgkbDAkaDA.*_ga_6XQ8153GYW*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzU3JGcxJHQxNzUxODc5MTE4JGo1MCRsMCRoMA..*_ga_BG6LYEHPX1*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMTgkajUwJGwwJGgw*_ga_J8BRGZSREX*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_7CG6454YR5*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_69Z54R4H9N*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_CY2VCKFC3C*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_TXZ07R2C21*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_17TMGY9BBE*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_MWDVVSEVL5*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_2QCC3S2748*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_E7D2PCX624*czE3NTE4NzkxMjYkbzUkZzAkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjYkajYwJGwwJGgw*_ga_XJ4037XKK6*czE3NTE4NzkxMjYkbzUkZzAkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjYkajYwJGwwJGgw*_ga_EJCVQDC7VT*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjYkajQyJGwwJGgw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">start trading<\/a> now.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dollar steadied after Powell\u2019s hawkish tone led traders to dial back expectations for another rate cut this year. \u2013 vtmarkets.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":19471,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[9,11],"class_list":["post-33535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analysis","tag-dollar","tag-indices"],"acf":{"acf_article_selection_author":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dollar steady above 108 after Powell dims early rate cut hopes;
