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.

Ethereum's staked ETH reaches an all-time high, with over 41.7 million ETH making up one-third of its total circulating supply.

Data shows that the amount of Ethereum (ETH) staked has hit an all-time high, with around 41.7 million ETH currently locked in staking, accounting for roughly one-third of Ethereum’s total supply. Meanwhile, ETH’s price has been weak, falling from about $3,400 in January this year to around $1,900, yet its staking scale keeps expanding. Market analysis points out that as Ethereum’s staked volume grows, the staking reward mechanism continues to generate returns: validators keep earning rewards and reinvest a portion of these proceeds into staking, further boosting the size of staked ETH. The rising staking ratio of ETH signals that long-term holders and institutions’ confidence in Ethereum’s network security and future ecosystem development is growing, though the large amount of ETH locked in staking may also affect market liquidity.

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun opposes the BIP-54 proposal, stating he will update nodes if the proposal meets standards via the BIP-9 mechanism.

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun stated in a post that his mining pool does not currently support the BIP-54 proposal. However, if the proposal strictly follows BIP-9 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal activation mechanism) and meets the required absolute majority signal threshold, his team will update the pool's nodes. Wang Chun added that his team will not participate in BIP-54's signal voting until the formal activation conditions are satisfied. BIP-54 is one of the protocol upgrade proposals under recent discussion in the Bitcoin community, concerning adjustments to Bitcoin's consensus rules. Wang Chun's remarks reflect that some miners remain cautious about the proposal, preferring to advance upgrades via the standardized BIP-9 process and community consensus.

Nvidia partners with multiple firms, including BlackRock and Blackstone, on a $500 billion AI financing deal.

According to market sources, NVIDIA is collaborating with multiple companies on a $500 billion AI financing deal, including Apollo, Blackstone, and BlackRock. BlockBeats previously reported that on July 28, NVIDIA and OpenAI were in discussions over a roughly $500 billion mega AI data center project located in southern Ohio, USA, with a projected maximum power capacity of 10GW, potentially making it the world’s largest data center project. The report noted that NVIDIA may provide around $250 billion in funding to OpenAI for leasing a data center campus developed by SoftBank’s energy subsidiary SBEnergy. The project’s total cost is expected to exceed $500 billion, including up to $350 billion in AI chip purchases. The first phase of the data center is scheduled to be completed in 2028, with an initial power capacity of approximately 800MW. If fully implemented, its 10GW power scale will far outpace most current large-scale AI infrastructure projects, equivalent to meeting the electricity needs of around 8.4 million American households.

Viewpoint: The current selling pressure on Bitcoin mainly stems from Binance and OKX, while Coinbase and the futures market continue to accumulate Bitcoin.

Analysts attribute the recent drop in Bitcoin’s price primarily to net selling activity on Binance and OKX’s spot markets. The net selling volume on both exchanges continues to swell, representing a major source of downward pressure for the current market. By comparison, Coinbase’s spot market has remained in net buying territory, suggesting that some institutional capital is still accumulating Bitcoin on dips. At the same time, buying momentum in Bitcoin’s futures market is strengthening rapidly. Data indicates that amid the price correction, large investors (whales) in the futures space are consistently purchasing Bitcoin, signaling that some funds are leveraging the downturn to open long positions.
