Will it go down over the next few periods? If so, how much, and for how long?
Will it go up afterwards? If so, how much, duration, estimated max between now and 2009?

If the US economy continues to weaken, the prevailing wisdom seems to see a rate cut to between 0 and 0.5%
If the economy were to pick up strongly with a rate around the 1.0 to 1.5% then that might induce the Fed to raise it back to the current ballpark in 2009.
These are, as you point out, best guesses, and depend on more than just the baseline economy, but I did hear someone on the BBC pointing to the possibility of a 0% rate.
That’s my 2c.
