Current news from the cryptocurrency market, macroeconomics, and Binance – these are the events that matter today and may influence prices and sentiment.

🌍 1) Bitcoin and the macro market – awaiting the Fed's decision

Today is an important day for the entire market: investors are keeping a close eye ahead of the Federal Reserve's (U.S. Federal Reserve) announcement, which could change the mood of global risk markets, including cryptocurrencies. Yesterday's readings and market statements suggest that the market is uncertain whether the Fed will decide to lower rates or maintain them steadily — and this could lead to greater volatility in BTC, ETH, and altcoins.

Current situation:

Bitcoin is consolidating around ~$88–89 thousand USD.

Ethereum still near ~$3,000, but showing weakness in the longer term.

This means that the market is still under the influence of overall macro uncertainty, and movements will often be geared toward reactions to signals from monetary policy.

💸 2) Fund positions and investor sentiment

Recent data shows that institutional investors are withdrawing funds from cryptocurrency funds — on a scale of even several billion USD per week, indicating a decrease in risk appetite. In particular, outflows have affected Bitcoin and Ethereum funds, although some altcoin products (e.g., related to Solana or Binance) had smaller outflows or even minor inflows.

Such behavior shows that the market is still cautious and investors are looking for 'safer places' or simply reducing exposure before key macro events.

📊 3) Sentiment and volatility

Cryptocurrency sentiment indexes are at levels traditionally considered 'fear' or 'uncertainty'. For example, the Fear & Greed index in the cryptocurrency market is at relatively low values, suggesting that the market is looking more at declines than rises in the short term.

Volatility is elevated, especially in BTC and ETH, due to recent price fluctuations and liquidation of leveraged positions.

🪙 4) Main cryptocurrencies today

As of the morning of January 28:

BTC is still balancing in consolidation, close to ~$88–89 thousand.

ETH around ~$2,900–3,000, under pressure from weak sentiment.

XRP is still stabilizing after recent weeks' corrections, but still aligns with the macro trend.

This is typical behavior when the market is waiting for something big – in this case, a Fed decision or other macro information.

📌 Key events that may have an impact.

In the LATER part of the day:

✅ Fed decisions and announcements as well as Powell's comments – may cause sharp volatility in BTC and altcoins,

✅ publication of inflation indicators or macro data from across the ocean – impact on risk appetite in general,

✅ responses of investment institutions to current market conditions (liquidity, long/short positions).

📊 Summary of sentiment

👉 The market is in a phase of waiting and consolidation.

👉 BTC and ETH are close to key levels, but as long as there is no clear 'bullish trigger', it may remain calm or slightly downward.

👉 Altcoins are behaving cautiously, similar to XRP.
