US Dollar Flexes, Look For on 99.05

Sunday War Map –


A weekly candle this strong leaves a mark. The dollar printed a 96.77 low to 98.18 high—a full-bodied bullish bar that demands respect.

Macro


This week is stacked with U.S. data that can shake the pullback narrative:

Tue 30 Sep – JOLTS & Consumer Confidence: first look at hiring demand and household mood.

Wed 1 Oct – ISM Manufacturing PMI: factory pulse and price pressures.

Thu 2 Oct – Durable Goods & Trade Data: capital-expenditure clues.

Fri 3 Oct – Non-Farm Payrolls & Hourly Earnings: the heavyweight. A hot jobs print could delay the December Fed-cut story (futures still price ~70% odds).


Technical Targets

Expect an early-week pullback as traders digest that massive weekly bar.

Two liquidity pools we’ve tracked for months were cleared last week; two upside targets still in play 98.2 and 98.3 remain before the chart reaches a true “bearish-range discount.”

Keep eyes on the 99.05 volume node—a well-defined supply zone where cross-market reactions (EUR, gold, crypto) could spike.

The dollar controls the tempo. Wait for the market to come to your levels; don’t chase the last candle.
