4E: US Stock and Crypto Markets Rebound, Focus This Week on US February PCE Price Index

2025.03.24 11:00:34

March 24th. Based on 4E monitoring, during the past week, the dovish remarks from the Federal Reserve and President Trump's statement regarding flexibility in the tariff plan successively boosted stock market confidence. After significant fluctuations, the three major indices closed up collectively for the week: the Dow increased by 1.2%, marking the largest weekly gain in more than two months; the S&P 500 rose by 0.51%, ending a four-week losing streak; the Nasdaq rose slightly by 0.17%, halting the previous four-week decline. However, large-cap tech stocks generally closed the week in a lower position, with Nvidia down by 3.26%, Tesla down by 0.53%, and experiencing a consecutive nine-week decline. The cryptocurrency market witnessed fluctuations but overall showed a mild upward trend. Bitcoin dipped below $81,000 on Tuesday and then rebounded. It surged above $87,000 on Thursday following the dovish comments from the Fed and hit a two-week high. After that, it oscillated around the $84,000 level. This morning, it experienced another rapid increase and was trading at $85,721 before the deadline, with a 3.18% increase in the past 7 days. Other major altcoins saw slight gains, with Ethereum striving to hold above $2,000, and the on-chain meme trend of BNB continued to attract attention. Signs of a market recovery are emerging, and investor sentiment is improving. In the commodities market, the US dollar index rose by 0.34% for the week, marking its first weekly gain this month. Tensions between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East continued to escalate, resulting in a more than 2% increase in crude oil prices for two consecutive weeks. Spot gold rose by 1.31% last week, extending a three-week upward trend. Last week, the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged, in line with market expectations, with the guidance for two rate cuts still in place for the year. Powell's remarks also brought some comfort to the market. This week, the focus is on the release of the Fed's preferred inflation measure - the PCE Price Index on Friday. Additionally, as the April 2nd "tariff deadline" approaches, market caution remains due to uncertainty. However, once the tariff outlook becomes clearer, the ongoing market turbulence of recent weeks may start to subside. As a financial trading platform that supports cryptocurrency, stock indices, commodities such as gold, and forex assets, eeee.com recently launched a USDT stablecoin financial product with an 8% annualized return, providing investors with a potential hedging option. 4E reminds you to be aware of market volatility risks and to allocate your assets rationally.

Three Men in France Suspected of Tying Up 74-Year-Old to Extort His Son's Crypto Assets, Torture for Nearly 16 Hours before Releasing Hostage upon Realizing 'Wrong Person'

On February 3, DLNews reported that French police have arrested three men in their 20s charged with kidnapping and torturing a 74-year-old man in an attempt to extort $3.5 million worth of cryptocurrency from his son. Officials told reporters the victim endured nearly 16 hours of abuse at the group’s hands. French outlet Actu 17 noted police said the three men kidnapped the unnamed elderly man from his Valence, Isère (southeastern France) home in the early hours of January 25. They forced him into a car and took him to a backroom of a bar in Valence, where the attackers allegedly filmed themselves torturing him. The group then sent the torture video to the man’s son via encrypted messages, demanding an unspecified amount of crypto as ransom. When they learned the son was not the crypto millionaire they’d mistakenly believed—just a web developer with little crypto—they released the victim at 11 p.m. the same day, pushing him out of the car on the roadside.

Data: The Whale group, holding over a thousand BTC, is currently the only group buying, while the retail group holding less than 10 BTC has been consistently selling for a month

On February 3, analyst James Van Straten cited Glassnode data showing that amid Bitcoin’s price drop, mega-investors holding more than 10,000 BTC—known as “whales”—are the only group still buying, while all other holder size cohorts are selling. Glassnode’s “Wallet Entity Balance Distribution” data indicates the largest whales are in a “light accumulation” phase: since Bitcoin fell to $80,000 in late November 2024, their balances have held neutral to slightly growing, even as BTC traded mostly between $80,000 and $97,000 through late January. By contrast, all smaller holder groups are net sellers—especially retail investors with <10 BTC, who have been selling for over a month. This reflects small-to-mid investors’ bearish outlook on the market and ongoing risk aversion. Meanwhile, the number of unique entities holding at least 1,000 BTC has risen from 1,207 in October 2024 to 1,303. Since Bitcoin hit an all-time high in October 2024, this group’s growth signals larger holders
