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.

Analysis: Shitcoin Volume Drops by 50%, Funds Flow Back into Bitcoin

**CryptoQuant Analyst: Bitcoin Consolidates as Altcoin Volume Slides** On February 18, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated: “After a sharp correction, Bitcoin is now consolidating between $65,000 and $72,000. This range includes a large number of whales, long-term holders, and even institutional investors. During deep retracements or late bear market phases, investors typically rotate funds back to Bitcoin while cutting altcoin allocations.” Altcoin trading volume has been hit hardest in this correction. On Binance, altcoins’ share of total trading volume dropped to 33.6% by February 13—down from a November peak of 59.2%, with trading activity nearly halved. This pattern has repeated in prior correction phases, including around April 2025, August 2024, and late October 2022 (near the end of the bear market). When market uncertainty rises and pressure mounts, Bitcoin’s trading volume dominance tends to climb. In this environment, investors naturally gravitate toward BTC, furthe

US Crypto Investors Concerned Over New IRS Tax Rule Triggering Penalties

Feb. 18 (CoinDesk) — A survey from crypto tax platform Awaken Tax finds over 50% of U.S. crypto investors are worried about facing IRS penalties this year. New regulations require brokers like Coinbase to report all digital asset transactions to the IRS via Form 1099-DA for 2025, aimed at combating tax evasion. For the first time, the IRS will access exchange internal data and cross-reference it with taxpayer filings. Awaken Tax founder Andrew Duca noted the rule treats crypto assets like stocks, but real-world use is far more complex: Users often transfer assets across multiple wallets, interact with DeFi, and brokers only report sale proceeds (not cost basis), leaving submitted forms incomplete. Taxpayers must supplement cost information using Form 8949. Currently, the crypto tax compliance rate is under 20%.

On-chain whale 「neoyokio.eth」 continues to compound position, with holdings reaching $14.9 million

February 18th — Per Coinbob Popular Address Monitoring (via https://t.me/Coinbob_track_CN), the "neoyokio.eth" whale (0x152) added to its position again last night and this morning. This comes after the whale opened a 2x-leveraged ASTER spot position on January 28th. Currently, its 4x-leveraged ASTER long position has grown to $14.9 million, with an average entry price of $0.6188 and an unrealized profit of ~$1.86 million (50%). It’s now the largest on-chain ASTER long position. The whale’s associated sub-address (0xfb5...) previously held ~$2 million in ASTER long positions but has since closed all of them. It currently holds no relevant positions. This whale also built a $20 million, 1x-leveraged XPL long position at an average price of $0.69 on September 24th — right before XPL’s sharp price surge. It became the largest on-chain XPL long position during XPL’s main uptrend, with a peak unrealized gain of over $16 million. That sparked insider trading suspicions around XPL.

Coinbase CEO: Platform Still Undervalued, Crypto Industry Is Directly Disrupting Wall Street

February 18, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong took to social media to address the question: “Why is Coinbase always misunderstood or underestimated by Wall Street?” He stated: “I do think Coinbase is a misunderstood company—this is a classic ‘innovator’s dilemma.’ On one hand, the savviest traditional financial institutions are fully embracing the crypto industry. Five Global Systemically Important Banks (GSIBs) have already partnered with Coinbase, and many large financial firms are hiring crypto talent. As regulations become clearer, roughly 50% of major financial institutions are actively leaning into this trend. On the other hand, the other half are still lagging and resisting. The world’s most disruptive innovations have followed a similar pattern—think Uber, Airbnb, self-driving tech, AI applications, or SpaceX’s impact on NASA. Since the crypto industry directly disrupts Wall Street, it’s no surprise some on Wall Street misunderstand crypto and Coinbase. The smart ones will em
