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.

Trump Makes Series of Major Announcements Within 24 Hours: Pressures Iran, Slams Oil Companies, Plans to Probe High Oil Prices

US President Trump has made a flurry of statements over the past 24 hours on Iran, energy markets, and government personnel appointments. On Middle East issues, Trump said the US is pushing for a "fair deal" with Iran to end conflicts in the Strait of Hormuz, and reiterated that "Iran cannot possess nuclear weapons". He claimed Iran has agreed to accept long-term, even permanent, top-level nuclear inspections, and warned that no further talks would take place if Tehran refuses the inspections. Separately, in response to Iran’s denial that it had arranged access for International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors, Trump called Iran’s statement "incorrect", adding that the inspectors would enter Iran at an appropriate time. Trump also criticized the US Senate’s push to hold a vote on the War Powers Resolution, which limits the president’s war powers, saying the move sends a weak signal to Iran and will complicate future negotiations. On energy, Trump accused major oil companies of not passing on the full drop in crude oil prices to gas station retail prices, saying consumers are being "ripped off", and noted he has ordered the US Department of Justice (DOJ) to launch an immediate investigation. Additionally, a source familiar with the matter told reporters that Heidi Overton, White House domestic policy assistant, is among the candidates for commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Separately, FIFA President has revealed that Trump will attend the World Cup final to be held in New Jersey, USA on July 19 and present the trophy to the champion team.

QCP Capital:市场关注点从美伊协议签署转向执行风险,美联储释放更长期维持高利率信号

QCP Capital’s daily observation notes that following the signing of the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the market’s focus has shifted from the agreement’s conclusion to execution risks. While Brent crude prices have fallen back below $80, navigation through the Strait of Hormuz has not fully resumed—only around 14 vessels transit the strait daily, far below normal levels. Key watch indicators over the next 60 days will be progress in technical negotiations and the implementation of the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire. On the monetary policy front, the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady in the 3.50%-3.75% range, but the median dot in its 2026 dot plot was raised from 3.4% to 3.8%, further reinforcing the "higher for longer" stance. Meanwhile, the Fed lifted its 2026 inflation forecast from 2.7% to 3.6%, underscoring that inflation remains a core constraint on current policy. In the tech sector, SpaceX’s share price has dropped from its post-IPO high of $211 to $155, a 27% decline from the peak, though still above its $135 IPO price. QCP believes the market narrative is shifting from the IPO boom to AI financing logic, with SpaceX increasingly emerging as a key component of the AI capital formation cycle. In the crypto market, Strategy continues to accumulate Bitcoin, holding 847,363 BTC—roughly 4% of the total Bitcoin supply—with an average cost basis of $75,651. QCP points out that while Strategy’s financing and accumulation mechanisms remain operational, its room to continue leveraging to add Bitcoin positions is narrowing, given the spot price is below its cost basis and preferred share prices have fallen below par value.

Data: Total value locked (TVL) in DeFi fell by 39% cumulatively in 2026, with TRON and Hyperliquid growing against the trend.

CryptoRank’s latest report shows that decentralized finance (DeFi) total value locked (TVL) has declined for six consecutive months, falling from around $115 billion in January 2026 to roughly $70 billion currently, marking a 39% year-to-date drop, a trend reflecting the ongoing correction following the 2025 crypto market peak. Data indicates that 121 security incidents have occurred in the DeFi space since the start of 2026, resulting in total losses of approximately $942 million. Among these, 85 attacks took place in the second quarter, causing around $775 million in losses, making it one of the most attack-prone quarters on record. The April attacks on Drift Protocol ($295 million) and KelpDAO ($293 million) alone account for more than half of the year’s total losses. Among the top 10 public blockchains by TVL, only TRON and Hyperliquid have posted positive growth. TRON’s year-to-date TVL rose by around 5%, driven primarily by demand for USDT transfers, stablecoin settlements, and lending services. Hyperliquid’s TVL grew by roughly 6.7%, fueled by its leading position in the on-chain perpetual contracts market and the expansion of its HyperEVM ecosystem. However, the report notes that the current DeFi downturn is significantly milder than the 2021–2022 cycle. Back then, DeFi TVL plummeted by over 70% in just seven months, while current capital is flowing more into segments like stablecoins, real-world assets (RWA), derivatives, and infrastructure, making the market structure more diversified and mature than in the previous cycle.

Using Donations to Buy a Ferrari? UK Reform Party Leader Calls Tether Shareholders' $6.7 Million Donation an "Unconditional Gift"

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has addressed the £5 million (approximately $6.7 million) gift he received from Tether shareholder Christopher Harborne, describing the funds as an "unconditional gift" whose use is entirely personal—adding, "If I wished, I could use it to buy a Ferrari." The UK Parliament’s Standards Commissioner is currently investigating whether Farage should have declared the donation after being elected as a Member of Parliament in 2024. Under parliamentary rules, newly elected MPs are generally required to disclose high-value gifts received in the preceding year. Harborne, a British-Thai businessman, holds roughly 12% of Tether—issuer of the stablecoin USDT—and is one of Reform UK’s key donors. In response to external concerns that the gift could influence his stance on cryptocurrency, Farage rejected the claim, stating he has long supported the crypto industry and advocates for establishing a UK Bitcoin reserve and lowering capital gains tax on digital assets. Notably, the personal gift is separate from political donations Harborne has made to Reform UK, and neither was paid in cryptocurrency.
