The USD has been dropping like a fat rock, I'm assuming in anticipation of a deep cut in rates.

As close as I can tell, an unholy amount of dollars have been printed up and passed around in currency swaps intended to support the USD.

I almost wonder if the Fed might leave rates unchanged until at least the next meeting to slow the decline?

There's a lot of pressure for the half point cut. I doubt it will be more than that. I think arguments could be made for leaving it unchanged or going with the quarter point you suggest.
