GMX stated on the X platform that the FOMC will announce its interest rate decision at 2 PM ET on October 28th, followed by a press conference by Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh at 2:30 PM. The market expects approximately a 90% probability that interest rates will remain unchanged in the 3.75% to 4.00% range in October, and approximately an 80% probability of a rate hike in December. Crude oil prices have fallen, energy-driven inflation continues, and gold prices are currently around $4000. AI Interpretation: The Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, as a core indicator of monetary policy, directly determines liquidity expectations in global capital markets. The current high market consensus on maintaining interest rates reflects policymakers' cautious approach in seeking a balance between inflation and economic growth. This highly consistent expectation anchors short-term interest rate trends, reducing the market's room for maneuver regarding policy shifts. As the decision announcement approaches, financial markets will enter a repricing phase of interest rate paths, and the persistence of a high-interest-rate environment will continue to suppress the valuation recovery of risky assets.

CryptoQuant analyst BaykusCharts stated that Binance's ETH open interest is currently around $5.8 billion, roughly half of the peak of $12 billion last summer. Given that the price of ETH has fallen by about half during the same period, open interest in ETH is approximately 2.5 million ETH, close to peak levels, with the decline primarily driven by price. Currently, funding rates are only slightly above zero, indicating that neither long nor short positions are excessively crowded. The market still has significant leveraged ETH exposure, but lacks strong directional confidence.
