You talked about intraday trading in your initial query. That, to me, implies news trading. If you were talking about a weeks to months projection, then you're talking fundamental analysis and trading.
As to the expectation of a Fed rate hike making the USD stronger, the answer is maybe at best. It assumes such a rate move has not already been factored in, and that other factors (such as interest rates abroad) do not offset the move in some fashion. If you really want to twist your mind in a knot, you could say that a rate hike could hamper the economy, which might be USD negative.
