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.

Well-known trader Doctor Profit announced he has closed out his HBAR position for a small profit. The breakout appears to be a false one, and holding such assets while Bitcoin is hovering around $79,000 is too risky. He has exited the trade, though he will continue monitoring it over the coming weeks to seek better entry opportunities.

Peter Brandt Raises Bitcoin’s Next Cycle Top Forecast to $300,000–$600,000

Renowned trader and chart analyst Peter Brandt, who accurately predicted the 2018 Bitcoin crash, stated, "We have likely already seen the cycle low and are now entering a new Bitcoin bull cycle." However, Brandt noted this does not mean the market will avoid a sharp pullback first. He is monitoring the possibility of a correction to the $65,000–$66,000 range in early October. Brandt said: "Of course, there’s a risk that too many people are chasing the rally now. They’ve already bought into the idea that Bitcoin’s low is in and are piling into this upward move." He believes a pullback could wash out these late buyers chasing gains, while also offering investors an opportunity to build positions. Brandt also raised his forecast for Bitcoin’s next cycle top, revising his end-2029 target range from the $250,000–$300,000 he set in July this year to $300,000–$600,000. He added: "This bull cycle is very likely to hit $500,000." In Brandt’s view, it’s not impossible for Bitcoin to reach $1 million by 2030, but even if that target isn’t met, it won’t affect his trading logic. Brandt also said he hasn’t deployed all the funds he plans to allocate to Bitcoin into the market yet. If Bitcoin hits his expected high by 2029, he believes allocating just 70% of his capital to the market and capturing 70% of the rally’s gains would be sufficient.
