Important events for the cryptocurrency market on January 28 from the economic calendar.

The most important thing, of course, will be the meeting of the US Federal Reserve in the evening and especially the speech of the head of the department, Powell.

No surprises are expected from the regulator's decision - according to #CMEGroup, 97.2% of players are betting on a pause, while only 2.8% are betting on a decrease of 0.25 percentage points. So all attention is on the "notes" in the accompanying letter and the emphasis in Powell's speech.

Let us remind you that the CMEGroup data on forecasts for the interest rate decision in the US is not some kind of survey. The FedWatch Tool from CMEGroup analyzes futures on the Federal Reserve's rates to predict the probabilities of changes in the target federal funds rate at future Federal Reserve meetings. That is, forecasts are based on market expectations and contract prices for futures.
