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.

Analysis: Why Bitcoin Can’t Break Through $82,000? Concentrated Gameplay Between Long-Term Holders, Short-Term Holders and Whale Groups

Analyst Murphy published a report explaining why Bitcoin is struggling to break through the $82,000 threshold, noting clues can be found in its coin holder distribution structure. First, Short-Term Holder (STH) coins are concentrated between $59,000 and $81,000 (marked red in Figure 1). A break above $82,000 would put all STHs in profit, prompting some short-term speculative funds to take profits, creating the first layer of selling pressure. Second, Long-Term Holder (LTH) coins are distributed across the entire price range, but their most concentrated price peak lies exactly between $81,000 and $82,000 (marked blue in Figure 1). Not all these LTHs are true "HODLers"—some are investors who got stuck in positions and became long-term holders passively, and may exit when prices approach their break-even points, forming the second layer of selling pressure. Additionally, this price level is also a hub for super whales: the group of whales holding over 100,000 BTC has two clusters near $40,000, with the rest concentrated between $78,000 and $82,000. The analyst believes there is indeed short-term resistance to breaking $82,000, as the market needs time to resolve divergences and absorb supply. Once the market regains momentum to break through, the path ahead will be clear.

US officials confirm Saudi Arabia's oil pipeline system was attacked, with some pumping stations damaged.

CNN cited two US officials as reporting that Saudi Arabia’s key East-West oil pipeline system was struck by projectile attacks on Thursday local time. Preliminary analysis shows a pumping station alongside the pipeline was hit; satellite imagery reveals one pumping station sustained extensive fire damage, while another suffered a small blaze and emitted thick smoke. It remains unclear who is behind the attacks, whether the pipeline itself was damaged, or how long repairs will take. One US official noted the drone used in the attack originated from Iraq. The East-West pipeline’s significance has risen since the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict. With Iran effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia has diverted roughly 5 million barrels per day of crude oil originally destined for Persian Gulf tankers to flow through this pipeline to Yanbu Port on the Red Sea. Meanwhile, the Houthi movement has claimed it will target any Saudi vessels trying to transit the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, putting Saudi Arabia’s alternative oil export route at risk.

US regulators issue proposed guidance on third-party risk management for banks.

US regulators have released proposed guidance on third-party risk management for banks. The Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) stated that the framework aims to help banks and credit unions "better calibrate and adjust their third-party risk management practices based on the risks of individual third-party relationships." Per the regulators’ joint announcement on the same day, the guidance is principles-based and non-binding; once finalized, it will replace the existing third-party risk management guidance. The public comment period will run for 60 days after the guidance is published in the Federal Register. The regulators also issued a separate statement on community banks’ dealings with core service providers, while the Federal Reserve is separately seeking comments on supporting guidance for the community banks it supervises.
