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.

Michael Saylor speaks out against Bitcoin BIP-110, arguing the proposal essentially forces "currency purity" through legal means, which runs counter to the core tenets of decentralization.

Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, stated that attempting to modify Bitcoin rules solely due to disapproval of how others use Bitcoin is a statist impulse, contrary to the Bitcoin community’s core values of freedom, property rights, free markets, and Austrian economics principles. BIP-110 is essentially an attempt to enforce "monetary purity" through legal means, which is inconsistent with Bitcoin’s core concept of decentralization. On the 19th, Michael Saylor opposed BIP-110, arguing that its governance risks outweigh the problems it seeks to solve. He claimed the proposal attempts to restrict the use of currently valid, fee-paying transactions via consensus rules, which could elevate disputes over use cases like data storage to the protocol layer. BIP-110 would add seven consensus restrictions over its approximately one-year validity period, including limiting the length of new script public keys, the size of certain push data and witness items, and disabling some Taproot extension paths, among other measures. Saylor also listed 110 reasons to oppose BIP-110. He objected to the proposal’s 55% miner signaling threshold, noting it is significantly lower than BIP-9’s 95% standard, and that eliminating regular timeouts and FAILED states could increase coordination errors, chain splits, and market uncertainty. Saylor believes that tools such as block space fees, node relay policies, miner strategies, pruning, and Layer 2 solutions can address these issues without modifying consensus rules. He emphasized that even if the rules are only temporarily in effect, the governance precedent established could persist long-term, making "the proposed governance framework more dangerous than the problem itself."
