According to a report by K33 Research, risk aversion is likely to continue dominating the cryptocurrency market, especially after the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates in December, which was accompanied by a hawkish pause, and renewed macroeconomic uncertainty as the new year approaches.

Although the rate cut provided some short-term relief, the accompanying comments indicating a renewed "wait-and-see" stance by the Federal Reserve negatively impacted overall market sentiment. Futures markets currently indicate a 73% probability of no change in interest rates at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting scheduled for January 28, along with a 47.6% chance of no change at the March 18 meeting, according to K33 Research.
