Scheduled Events Today (April 29, 2025) with High Potential Impact:

* Major Company Earnings Reports: Several large companies (including Booking Holdings, S&P Global, Honeywell, Pfizer, Spotify, American Tower, Starbucks in the US, and Ambuja Cements, Bajaj Finance, BPCL in India) are scheduled to release their financial results today.

* What WILL happen: These reports will be released. They will likely cause significant price movement in those specific stocks and potentially their related sectors (e.g., tech, pharma, finance).

* What is UNCERTAIN: How the market will react overall (positive earnings could lift general sentiment, negative could dampen it), and the extent of any spillover into the crypto market.

Ongoing Factors Definitely Influencing Today's Market (but without a single trigger point):

* Bitcoin's Price Movement: Bitcoin's price action will continue to influence sentiment across the crypto market, including XRP. Significant moves in BTC often lead to correlated moves in altcoins.

* Flow-through Sentiment: Market sentiment from yesterday's news (like updates on US-China trade talks mentioned in one report, or previous days' crypto news) will carry over and influence trading decisions today.

What is NOT Scheduled Today:

* There don't appear to be any major, market-wide macroeconomic data releases (like US CPI or a Federal Reserve interest rate decision) scheduled for today that would typically act as a primary driver for all markets.
