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.

Bitcoin Q1 2026 Price Drop 23.8%, Marking Worst Performance Since 2018

April 1st — Bitcoin notched a 23.8% drop in the first quarter of 2026, marking its worst Q1 performance since 2018 (when it plunged 50% in the same period), per The Block. Adding to the downturn: a 23% decline in Q4 2025 means the crypto has fallen roughly 41.6% over the past six months. Analysts point to multiple drivers for the slump. Andri Fauzan Adziima, Research Director at Bitrue, noted the Q1 drop was primarily fueled by outflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs, plus persistent high inflation, a cautious Federal Reserve, and broad market risk aversion. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net outflows of $4.965 billion in Q1: $18 billion left in the first two months, partially offset by $13.2 billion in inflows in March. Still, analysts say Bitcoin’s long-term conviction remains unshaken. Min Jung, a researcher at Presto Research, stated: “There’s little evidence of a structural shift in long-term Bitcoin belief. Institutional participation and adoption trends are intact, meaning this decline is

Trump's Troop Withdrawal Statement Triggers Oil Sell-off, Energy Premium Quickly Dissipates

April 1 – WTI crude oil fell below $98 per barrel (intraday drop: 3.78%) while Brent crude was down 3.3% Wednesday, after former President Trump said the U.S. would withdraw from Iran within two to three weeks regardless of an agreement. Kaiyuan Macro’s Thomas Mathews noted: “Hopes of easing tensions have lifted markets, but we believe the war’s impact will linger even if it ends quickly. Both sides have issued positive signals in earlier stages, yet many turned out to be empty promises.” (FX678)
