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.

21Shares: Bitcoin Could Rebound to $100,000 by End of Year, Current Trend Aligns With Post-Halving Cycle Characteristics

Asset management firm 21Shares has released its mid-year crypto market report, revisiting its 2026 industry forecast and setting a base-case target of $100,000 for Bitcoin by year-end. Bitcoin previously hit an all-time high of around $126,000 in October 2025, and is currently trading at roughly $62,300, approximately 50% below that peak. 21Shares noted that Bitcoin’s post-halving price trajectory “still looks familiar”, with the current pullback aligning closely with historical post-halving patterns, though the decline is far smaller than the over 80% pullbacks seen in prior cycles. The report points out that Bitcoin remains above the $54,000 aggregate investor cost basis, with no signs of the capitulation sell-offs observed in previous bear cycles, signaling a more mature market and stickier capital flows. The report also shows that as of May 2026, global crypto ETP assets under management (AUM) stood at around $140 billion, down roughly 15% year-to-date; ETPs hold approximately 1.25 million BTC, about 8% below their prior peak. 21Shares attributes the decline primarily to price movements rather than widespread liquidations. While U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of around $3 billion, underlying BTC allocations remain near cycle highs. Additionally, the report states that prediction market trading volume reached $57.5 billion by the end of May, already exceeding half of the firm’s full-year forecast. Full-year volume is on track to hit $100 billion, and could challenge $200 billion in the second half, driven by events including the FIFA World Cup and U.S. midterm congressional elections. Total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance (DeFi) remains around $140 billion, below 21Shares’ earlier forecast of $300 billion. Public on-chain tokenized assets amount to $31 billion, including $15 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasuries.

Binance says it will not exit Europe, and will seek additional EU operating licenses.

According to Reuters, Gillian Lynch, head of Binance Europe and the UK, stated that despite a setback in its application for a European Union crypto operating license in Greece, Binance still plans to remain in the EU and will reapply for local operating authorization. “Binance will not leave Europe,” Lynch said. She noted that Binance may simply need to secure authorization through a different path, and if not Greece, the company will explore other alternatives. Binance’s current European operating license is set to expire in just one week, and failure to obtain a new license could lead to a phased shutdown of its EU operations. Two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that Binance has held discussions with regulators in Ireland, Latvia, and Greece, but faced resistance in all three jurisdictions. The sources added that regulatory officials have raised concerns over Binance’s past penalties related to money laundering, its complex international structure, and what they perceive as its risk-tolerant corporate culture. Lynch said Binance does not understand why its application was rejected, noting that the company had previously expected Greek regulators to approve the license. She also stated that Binance has reached out to four or five regulatory bodies, but only submitted a formal application to Greece. Regarding Binance’s past issues, Lynch said the firm has invested in compliance and internal controls, employing around 1,500 compliance staff, and emphasized that there are no unresolved issues with its license application.
