The short answer is no. CNBC is having a field day recently with people trying to predict if the next Fed decision will be a rate hike or cut!
However the market in general is continually trying to do this every day all day. The current yield curve will kind of give you an idea where the market expects rates to be in the future.

yes and no...
it is possible to predict changes in the interest rate (up to some confidenced level).
however, in most cases it isnt possible to profit from your guess about how the the interest rate is likely to change. this is because financial experts are also making guesses about changes in the interest rate, and price stocks/bonds/loans/etc according to how they expect interest rates will change in the future. unless you are more knowledgable than the experts--and that seems doubtful--that is a dangerous game to play.

Yes, I predict they will change from time to time.
