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.

Willy Woo: Bitcoin May Have Ended Bear Market as of Q4, $45K Typical Bear Market Bottom

February 27 — Renowned analyst Willy Woo said this round of investor-driven bearish selling looks to be winding down, giving Bitcoin some price breathing room. It could enter a roughly one-month sideways consolidation phase, or rebound to the mid-$70,000s — but that level will likely face resistance. The broader market backdrop remains deeply bearish, with both spot and derivatives liquidity worsening. “I’ve never seen Bitcoin hold an uptrend when both spot and derivatives liquidity are weakening at the same time,” he noted. For a fairly rational call, Woo believes the fourth quarter could be a better window for this bear market trend to end, while actual bullish momentum could return in Q1 or Q2 2027. The ~$45,000 level is a typical bear market bottom range. Bitcoin has been in a long-term global macro bull market from 2009 through 2026. Should a structural breakdown hit that macro backdrop, $30k will be the next support level, and $16k will be the final defense line to keep

Bitwise CIO: Bitcoin Is Currently in the Capitulation Phase, Price Drop Driven by Long Liquidations Rather Than Market Manipulation Conspiracy

**Feb 27: Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan on Bitcoin’s Drop, Conspiracies & Outlook** Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said Tuesday, Feb 27: “Conspiracy theories are swirling. It started with Binance, then Wintermute, then an unknown offshore macro hedge fund, then ‘paper Bitcoin’—today it’s Jane Street’s turn; next week it’ll probably shift to someone else.” The real driver of Bitcoin’s decline? A group of previously long Bitcoin holders offloaded their exposure: via spot markets, unwinding leveraged positions, and selling call options to cut risk. Their motivations? The “four-year cycle,” quantum computing fears, a push into AI startups, and other factors. Most of that selling is already done, and we’re forming a bottom. New all-time highs are still in the cards. This is a typical crypto winter—one that’ll eventually give way to a typical crypto spring. People always want someone to blame; I get that. But reality’s often more mundane than conspiracies.

Economist: AI Productivity Dividend Difficult to Resolve Fiscal Constraints, or Only "Buy Time" for High-Debt Economies

Feb. 27 – Economists note that even if artificial intelligence (AI) delivers a productivity boom, it won’t fix major economies’ fiscal dilemmas fundamentally—but it could buy them more time to adjust. OECD economist Filiz Unsal says AI-driven productivity growth could boost job creation, pushing debt levels in OECD nations like the U.S., Germany, and Japan 10 percentage points below current 2036 projections. Even so, those levels will still be far higher than today’s. Idanna Appio, a former New York Fed economist, calls productivity gains “magic” for boosting fiscal dynamics—but adds, “Our fiscal problems are far bigger than what productivity alone can solve.” Analysts highlight population aging as a key challenge. Vanguard’s Global Economic Research chief Kevin Khang says the debt’s root cause is aging populations and linked welfare spending: “Fixing this needs fiscal consolidation; AI only buys us time.” Additionally, tax and spending uncertainties remain: If AI causes jo

Santiment: Number of Addresses Holding at Least 100 BTC Nears 20,000, Bitcoin Undergoing "Strong Hands Reallocation"

On February 27, crypto analytics firm Santiment tweeted that Bitcoin is on the cusp of a milestone: the number of addresses holding at least 100 BTC is set to surpass 20,000. A wallet with 100+ BTC is currently worth at least $6.78 million, and these wallets are primarily held by high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), funds, long-term holders, or institutions. When this count rises during or after a price dip (as observed recently), it signals bullish momentum. However, the percentage of total Bitcoin supply held by key stakeholders hasn’t seen meaningful growth — which is why the asset’s price remains under pressure. Growth in 100+ BTC addresses means more large holders are diversifying, rather than a small group controlling the bulk of supply. In this sense, it points to reduced concentration at the top. That said, it also signals a shift of wealth toward “strong hands” (long-term holders) versus small retail wallets. This isn’t decentralization at the most granular level, but
