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.

Analysis: Bitcoin’s ADX trend strength drops to a more than two-year low, signals of returning volatility strengthen, and a directional choice is imminent.
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost noted in a post that Bitcoin’s Average Directional Index (ADX) indicator hit its lowest level in over two years today, another signal suggesting volatility is about to return. ADX is a tool for measuring trend strength, not directional, carrying no bullish connotation—it is only used to track trend strength rather than price action. An extremely low ADX level means Bitcoin has been trading sideways in a range for quite a long time, trend momentum is nearly exhausted, and prices will have to choose a direction soon. Darkfost stressed that multiple indicators currently point to the same conclusion: the market has been in a "hypnotic" low-volatility state for several consecutive months, major swings are imminent, and investors should remain highly vigilant.

Analysis: 41.5% of BTC purchased in 2025 have been sold at a loss, with holding turnover approaching levels seen during the past two bear markets.
On-chain analyst Murphy noted that all BTC purchased in 2025 is currently in a loss position. Whenever the volume of these 2025-acquired BTC decreases, all reductions (excluding wallet transfers) stem from selling at a loss. As of now, 4.77 million BTC bought in 2025 remain, a 41.5% drop from their peak last December. The downward trend’s slope has two distinct phases: a sharp decline before February this year, followed by a slowdown after February, though it still maintains a notable downward slope. This cohort represents the largest supply side in the current market. Comparing data from 2022 to 2024, it’s clear that holdings with unrealized profits have largely passed the steep phase of decline. Even if prices drop further, changes in the volume of these holdings will no longer be significant. In other words, the potential supply from this group has already completed its turnover. Looking at the past two bear markets: during the 2022 bear market bottom, holdings from the 2021 peak dropped by 51%; during the 2018 bear market bottom, holdings from the 2017 peak fell by 62%. Murphy estimates that the current bear market bottom will see a maximum decline of 50-60%, with the current figure standing at 41%.
