Unless there's a major event, it shouldn't really change anything.
U.S. payroll numbers are unlikely to give the dollar upward momentum, even if the numbers are good. Market sentiment toward the U.S. economy is worsening, buffeted by recent weaker data.
The on-year rise in core CPI backs up our forecast of an exit from quantitative easing in April of next year, but the market's interest has shifted to the timing of an interest-rate hike.
Should foreign investors, who have helped fund U.S. twin deficits, show weaker demand at the 10-year auction and the trade deficit widens, that may make it easier to sell the dollar.
Since sentiment is bad for the dollar I'm not sure if the dollar can rally on good data.

Strong figures will support the dollar, as they suggest a good outlook for the U.S. economy from early next year.
It's natural to think the dollar has just entered a short-term downward correction. It could be just a temporary pause before the dollar heads higher again.
