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.

Amazon adjusts its AI strategy, phasing out most of its flagship models.

According to people familiar with the matter, Amazon is overhauling its artificial intelligence strategy, phasing out many in-house models, restructuring teams, and concentrating engineering resources on a new cutting-edge competitive initiative. The moves follow last week’s layoffs at Amazon’s General Artificial Intelligence (AGI) division and the shutdown of its AGI Lab — a research institute Amazon established in 2024 after poaching most of the team from AI startup Adept. This restructuring marks a refocus of Amazon’s AI strategy: instead of spreading resources across multiple text, image, and video models, the company is directing engineering talent and scarce computing resources to its highest-priority projects. Sources say Amazon has begun phasing out most of its in-house flagship Nova models, including the high-end Premier and Omni variants, the Reel video generation model, and the Canvas image generation model. The company is gradually shifting resources away from existing Nova models to a new cutting-edge model R&D program. Led by researcher Pieter Abbeel — who joined Amazon via the acquisition of AI robotics startup Covariant — this initiative, internally called "Edge Model Research" (abbreviated EMR), has become one of Amazon’s top priorities this year.

Owner of the Shiba Inu that inspired the DOGE meme clarifies: has no relation to the CATE token, and only endorses the DOG and COCORO projects.

Atsuko Sato, owner of Kabosu—the Shiba Inu that inspired Dogecoin—has issued a statement clarifying that a series of CATE tokens circulating in the market recently have no connection to her. She said she only posted a single update on Instagram earlier, but the content was later used without authorization by others, who then issued fake tokens under her name to create the illusion of a link. She expressed regret over the incident, noting that some accounts involved in spreading related information even include users with significant influence on the X platform. Sato emphasized that the only project currently officially authorized by her to manage her intellectual property is Own The Doge. She explained that Own The Doge acquired the Doge NFT in 2021, launched the DOG token, and is responsible for organizing Doge Day events, supporting charity, and managing her IP. In 2025, the two parties collaborated to launch the COCORO token on the Base network. Proceeds from these projects will be used to care for her pet family members and support animal welfare initiatives run by withkabosu, she added. She called on the public to rely on official announcements, remain vigilant against any unauthorized projects or tokens issued under her name, and avoid falling for crypto asset projects unrelated to her.

Analyst: The proportion of Bitcoin long-term holders transferring their holdings to trading platforms is approaching its historical peak.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost noted in a recent post that the volume of Bitcoin (BTC) holdings transferred by long-term holders to trading platforms has recently hit a high. Currently, long-term holders make up 5.1% of total Bitcoin inflows to these platforms — a figure near an all-time high, with only 2020 recording a higher rate, around 5.5%. This shift came after Bitcoin’s sharp price drop. As the metric relies on 90-day moving average data, it carries a degree of lag, meaning changes won’t immediately reflect the latest market developments. While the trend is likely to gradually stabilize going forward, current data shows long-term holders have clearly stepped up their trading activity recently.
