It quite natural for support and resistance points to change daily and this is the constant for daytrades but interest rates answers the question exactly where are support and resistance points located and how much was the daily change.
The lower goes Fed Funds then the higher goes the averages. The higher goes the averages then the more EUR/USD drops and DXY and USD rises.
