"Super Wednesday / Thursday" is here

Attention everyone, this week's market is packed with events, the pace is tight, and short-term volatility should not be underestimated 🤯

1️⃣ Fed Rate Decision & Powell's Speech

Time: January 28 (Wednesday) 2:00 PM EST

The Fed will announce the latest rate decision, followed by Powell's press conference at around 2:30 PM EST.

The market is most concerned not just about whether rates will be adjusted, but more about the wording and tone—hints about future economic and rate-cut paths.

Latest market expectations: High probability of keeping rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%.

2️⃣ Tech Giants Earnings Reports

Time: After 4:00 PM EST on January 28 (Wednesday)

$Microsoft(MSFT.US), $Meta Platforms(META.US), and $Tesla(TSLA.US) will release their quarterly earnings reports.

The performance of these large-cap tech stocks often directly impacts market sentiment, especially when released after hours on the same day as the rate decision, which can amplify market volatility.

3️⃣ Crypto Regulation & CLARITY Act

The originally scheduled crypto regulation meeting (SEC Chair + CFTC Chair) and CLARITY Act markup, postponed due to scheduling and internal coordination, will now take place on January 29 (Thursday) afternoon EST.

These two events are highly sensitive to short-term crypto market sentiment. Although delayed, the momentum hasn't stopped.
