Federal Reserve interest rate decision

Greeks.live: This week, the influence of Chinese-speaking users on the market will temporarily decrease, and the market is focused on Thursday's Federal Reserve interest rate decision

ChainCatcher news, Greeks.live analyst Adam released the market outlook for this week (January 27 to February 2). The upcoming Lunar New Year will lead to a temporary decrease in market influence from Chinese-speaking users. Despite frequent economic policy announcements from Trump during his first week in office, the probability of the Federal Reserve maintaining interest rates unchanged this week remains as high as 98%. The market is focused on the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank's interest rate decisions on Thursday, with the Bank of Japan's rate hike already implemented and expectations for continued rate cuts in the Eurozone.In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin is currently fluctuating above $100,000, and the cooling of the TRUMP meme market has led to a dispersion of market enthusiasm. The options market shows a significant decrease in uncertainty, with the at-the-money implied volatility (IV) dropping below 55% for the week, and the full-term at-the-money IV falling below 60%. Recently, there has been a large volume of institutional bullish options trades, but after the rate hike was confirmed, institutions began to significantly increase their short positions. The Bitfinex interest rate market is performing steadily, and it is recommended to actively monitor suitable interest rate orders during market fluctuations.In terms of regulation, new EU regulations require cryptocurrency exchanges to comply with travel rule guidelines and strengthen anti-money laundering measures. Exchanges like Deribit must improve their KYC processes to operate normally. Important events this week include: Wednesday's Bank of Canada interest rate decision (22:45), Thursday's Federal Reserve interest rate decision (05:30) and European Central Bank deposit facility rate (21:15), as well as Friday's U.S. December core PCE price index (21:30).
