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.

Bitunix Analyst: Market Enters "Data Risk Week", BTC Rises to $80,000, Leveraging and Macro Sentiment Warm Up in Sync, Caution Needed for Long Squeeze

May 4th — The market is now in a phase of overlapping intense macro and geopolitical events. U.S. nonfarm payrolls, Federal Reserve officials’ remarks, U.S.-Europe tariff risks, and the Strait of Hormuz situation are top focuses for global funds. The U.S. military has announced the launch of "freedom of navigation operations," deploying 15,000 personnel plus sea and air assets to secure navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has warned any intervention could be deemed a ceasefire violation, with the conflict at risk of further escalation. In this context, BTC has continued its risk appetite recovery post-ceasefire, climbing above the $80,000 mark. On-chain settlement heatmaps show the $79,500–$81,000 range has seen high-density short squeezes, while the $77,000–$78,000 level acts as a short-term long defense zone — signaling a typical high-leverage hedging state. Notably, this week’s macro data will directly impact the U.S. dollar, U.S. bond yields, and risk asset sentiment.

A U.S. Law Firm Seeks to Halt Transfer of Frozen ETH in Kelp Attack, Claiming Over $870 Million in Damages

On May 4, U.S. law firm Gerstein Harrow LLP filed a motion for a restraining order in court, seeking to block the Arbitrum DAO from transferring frozen Ethereum assets tied to the Kelp attack. The firm stated its client has secured default judgments totaling roughly $877 million (including punitive damages and interest) in three cases against North Korea, claiming a right to the related assets. Previously, on April 18, the Kelp DAO was hacked, resulting in losses of approximately $292 million—losses linked to the North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group. The Arbitrum Security Council subsequently froze around 30,766 Ether (valued at roughly $73 million at the time). The incident has sparked controversy. Some community members argue enforcing the restraining order would delay fund returns to affected users and shift North Korea-related liabilities to secondary victims. Earlier, Aave Labs proposed unfreezing the assets and directing them into a compensation fund to recover damaged a
