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.

Serenity: Amplifying technical details to spread bearish views on tech giants is evolving into a new traffic strategy.

Serenity released a statement noting that a new bearish scheme has emerged in the market targeting trillion-dollar tech firms including NVIDIA and TSMC: some parties are deliberately exaggerating issues in specific technical or supply chain segments to conclude that entire projects will be delayed or business operations will suffer setbacks. Such actions often leave companies in a dilemma: if they choose not to respond, related remarks may negatively impact their stock prices and market sentiment; if they issue clarifications, they cannot disclose excessive details as supply chain information typically involves trade secrets, and external doubts may not subside even after clarification. Serenity further stated that under the current social media environment and traffic-driven incentive mechanism, this model of gaining attention by creating controversy and amplifying partial problems is being adopted by more and more people, and its long-term development trend merits market vigilance.

Analysts: Selling pressure from Bitcoin short-term holders has eased, while the return of institutional funds remains to be observed.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler noted in a post that Bitcoin’s short-term holder (STH) real stress model shows buying and selling pressure among current STHs is cooling slightly, with buying power still leading. Meanwhile, after 8 consecutive weeks of outflows, the ETF market recently recorded a net inflow of roughly $197.4 million—though this amount is insufficient to confirm a reversal in institutional demand trends, signaling market capital momentum remains weak. Next week will bring multiple key macroeconomic data releases and events, so whether institutional funds can return remains to be observed.
