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.

Bitunix Analyst: The dollar's pricing power oscillates between policy credibility and war outcomes, as the market enters a phase of exchange rate-driven risk reallocation.

**April 21 News Brief** Markets are now pricing in the "Who Determines the End Condition" scenario. Former President Trump explicitly narrowed the ceasefire window while retaining the Strait of Hormuz blockade as a negotiation chip, transforming energy supply risks into a bargaining tool. However, internal divisions in Iran’s negotiating stance have hindered short-term consensus-building, shifting geopolitical risk from a one-time event trigger to a variable tied to expectations of sustained impact. Against this backdrop, the U.S. dollar’s core driving logic has reversed: it’s no longer tied solely to interest rate differentials and safe-haven flows, but now focuses on the comprehensive pricing of policy credibility and liquidity pathways. - On one hand, Federal Reserve Chair Powell laid out a clear hawkish framework ahead of his congressional hearing—emphasizing the Fed’s independence and commitment to taming inflation—effectively ruling out aggressive rate cuts in the near t

El Salvador’s President Bukele: I expect Bitcoin to rebound to $85,000, and another significant correction will present the final buying opportunity

On April 21, Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Daniel Yan noted he’s been tracking a rebound—not a reversal—lately. The key question is how far this rebound will go. Initially, the target was pegged at 85 (equivalent to $850,000 for Bitcoin), but no one can time the bottom perfectly. The main takeaway: set your own expectations and stick to sound risk management and profit-taking plans. From a trading and cyclical lens, another significant pullback could be on the horizon—one that may also offer a strong final buying opportunity. Potential triggers right now include: a pullback in U.S. stocks from record highs, a broad decline in risk assets, unhinged oil prices, and scary inflation prints that force the Fed to scrap rate cuts (even consider hiking rates). Stay bullish on the medium-to-long term while managing short-term risks.

US Crypto Market Structure Legislation Delayed, Senate Banking Committee April Hearing Unlikely

On April 21, The Block reported that Thom Tillis—North Carolina Republican and key negotiator for the U.S. Senate Banking Committee—said the panel is unlikely to schedule an April hearing to amend and vote on a cryptocurrency market structure bill. The legislation’s main sticking point now centers on stablecoin rewards. The current draft would bar idle stablecoin accounts from earning rewards but allow rewards tied to transaction activity. Banking industry representatives worry such rewards could siphon deposits from traditional banks, while crypto firms argue restricting rewards would stifle innovation. Tillis has proposed pushing the committee’s deliberations to May. Earlier, Sen. Bernie Moreno warned that if the bill fails to pass by May, “digital asset legislation will be unable to move forward in the foreseeable future.”
