Fed Rate‑Hike Probability Rises to 40%

The increase in the Federal Reserve’s likelihood of a rate hike to 40% provides support for the U.S. dollar, signaling a short‑term rise in the DXY. The RSI is currently in the overbought zone at level 89, suggesting a modest correction may occur in the near term. The MACD remains above its signal line, and the 20‑period SMA is above the 50‑period SMA, reinforcing the existing uptrend. Over a 1–3 day horizon, markets may exhibit a slight uptick alongside this news, though a brief consolidation could also be expected due to overbought conditions. Overall, a modest upward trend for the DXY is anticipated in the short term.

The S&P 500 has gained 1% in the past 24 hours and is trading above its 20‑day simple moving average, yet its RSI stands at 71, indicating overbought conditions. This elevates the risk of a modest short‑term correction, though a significant decline is not anticipated given the prevailing strong trend indicators.

The probability of a Fed rate hike rising to 40% could reduce risk appetite in markets. The NDX's current RSI is 66, placing it in the overbought region, which increases the likelihood of a short‑term correction. The MACD remains above its signal line, still indicating bullish momentum, but rising interest‑rate expectations could erode that momentum. Although the 20‑day SMA is above the 50‑day SMA, providing technical support, macro news may temporarily weaken that support level. Consequently, a modest decline over a 1‑3 day period is expected.
