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.

Low Cap Altcoins Experience Frequent "Pump and Dump" Rollercoaster Rides, Community Divided

With tensions easing between the U.S. and Iran and Bitcoin trading sideways at elevated levels, a wave of low-cap altcoins has been on wild "moon shot" rollercoaster rides lately. From SIREN’s repeated pump-and-dumps to ARIA’s one-month pump followed by a one-hour dump, the volatile market has drawn in high-risk-tolerant investors. These "moon shot" coins often share key traits: highly concentrated spot holdings, perpetual futures pairs listed on Binance, and strong behind-the-scenes manipulation. Though Binance released a Market Maker Risk Guide on March 25 warning against one-sided selling and abnormal trading activity, the trend has only intensified since April. Some crypto community members argue this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, noting: "Crypto’s biggest draw is its high volatility—this volatility is what attracts liquidity." Indeed, during these coins’ high-volatility stretches, their daily futures volume often hits hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, a clea

Iranian Source Says Start of Talks Conditions Not Met

**April 11 (local time) —** Iranian sources report that two key conditions set by Iran for negotiations—unfreezing its frozen assets and a ceasefire in Lebanon—have not yet been met. Earlier, a senior Iranian official stated the U.S. has agreed to unfreeze Iran’s assets held in banks in Qatar and other countries. The U.S. has not issued a public response to the asset unfreezing issue. On April 10, Iranian Islamic Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on social media that negotiations cannot begin until two conditions are fulfilled: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the unfreezing of Iran’s frozen assets. Additionally, the Iranian negotiation delegation met with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif before that day’s meeting, and later held another meeting with Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir, possibly exchanging new information. Earlier, Iran noted that Munir had met with its delegation “last night.” (CCTV News)
