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.

Analyst: Tariff Inflation May Continue to Feed Through to Economy in Coming Months, Fed Seen Cutting Rates Twice This Year

On February 14, Stephen Douglass of NISA Investment Advisors noted that roughly one-third of tariff-related inflation could still gradually pass through to the economy in the coming months. This is expected to support solid economic performance and keep the Federal Reserve on hold for the near term. “We’re back on track for a soft landing,” he said. “The labor market will stabilize, and the final tariff inflation ripples will pass through in the first half of this year.” He projects commodity inflation will turn negative in the second half of the year, creating room for the Fed to resume rate cuts later than markets anticipate. “Our base case for this year is one rate cut in September and another in December,” he added.

Binance Fires Senior Investigator Who Disclosed $1 Billion USDT Flow to El Salvador

February 14 — Binance has terminated several compliance investigators who previously flagged that Iran-linked entities moved more than $1 billion through the exchange between March 2024 and August 2025, according to internal documents cited in a *Fortune* report. The transactions used the stablecoin Tether (USDT) and settled on the Tron blockchain, potentially violating U.S. sanctions. At least five of those investigators have been gradually terminated since late 2025; many have law enforcement backgrounds in Europe and Asia and oversaw global financial crime and sanctions evasion probes. Separately, at least four senior compliance employees have resigned or been pushed out over the past three months. In 2023, Binance settled with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) over anti-money laundering and sanctions violations, paying a $4.3 billion fine. Founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) pleaded guilty, resigned as CEO, and was later sentenced to four months in prison. The firm then entered re

The US Supreme Court is set to release its opinion on the Trump Tariffs case on February 20.

Feb 14 — The U.S. Supreme Court has set Feb 20 as its next opinion release date, with the world awaiting a ruling that could largely invalidate former President Trump’s signature tariff policy, foreign media reports. Justices are also expected to issue opinions on Feb 24 and 25. The tariff dispute is among 12 cases argued in October or November that remain undecided. U.S. federal government data shows the controversial tariffs cost importers more than $16 billion monthly. Economic analyst Chris Kennedy estimates that by Feb 20, total duties collected under the case’s core law — the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act — could exceed $170 billion.

Analysis: US CPI Below Expectations, Bitcoin Rebounds to $69K, Rate Cut Expectations Still Low

February 13th: Bitcoin rallied short-term after U.S. January CPI data came in softer than expected, topping $69,000 and hitting a peak of $69,190—up roughly 4%. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures showed January core CPI rose 2.5% year-over-year (matching estimates), while headline CPI climbed 2.4% YoY—0.1 percentage points below forecasts and marking a multi-year trough. Cooling inflation lifted market sentiment, with crypto assets emerging as the day’s standout risk assets. Yet rate markets remain cautious on betting a Fed rate cut at its March meeting. CME FedWatch data puts the probability of a 25-basis-point March cut at less than 10%, signaling no clear easing expectations have formed. On charts, the $68,000-$69,000 range is a critical resistance zone—near the 2021 all-time high and aligning with the 200-week moving average. Some traders note holding above this zone could form a “higher-low” pattern, but overall sentiment remains guarded.
