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.

Tom Lee: Most investors base their future opportunities on current market assumptions, underestimating the growth potential of projects.

Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine – the largest Ethereum treasury company – said in an interview that most investors perform poorly in growth investing. One of their biggest mistakes is focusing too much on a project’s current activities, rather than what new technologies could enable it to become. Lee notes that growth investing requires establishing clear baseline scenarios and fully understanding the potential total market size. Investors often assume future opportunities are limited to the current market, leading them to underestimate a project’s growth potential. While new technologies bring uncertainty, speculation, and innovation, most investors tend to prioritize risks over underlying opportunities.

Post-merger, the combined entity will operate under the Fortitude name and trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "TUDE".

Serenity is extremely bullish on traditional and mature process memory chips, with their price hikes expected to far exceed those of GPU leasing and MLCC.

Serenity stated in a report that it holds an extremely bullish outlook on traditional and mature-process memory chips, noting their price increases far outpace the 17%-21% rise in GPU rental rates announced by Nebius on the same day, as well as price hikes for MLCC capacitors from Taiyo Yuden and Murata. Serenity projected the following additional price increases in the second half of the year or third quarter: SLC NAND will climb 120%-170% in H2 compared to H1; high-capacity NOR Flash will rise another 90%-110%; DDR3/DDR4 will increase roughly 50%; DDR2 will see a 35%-40% jump in Q3; LPDDR will rise 20% or more in Q3; and DDR1, older LPDDR variants, and PSRAM are also trending upward. These increases are on top of price hikes that already occurred in the first half of the year. Serenity emphasized that SLC NAND prices have already surged 130%-150% in H1, meaning the full-year 2026 cumulative increase could reach 406%-575%. This sharp price surge will drive gross and net profit growth more than offsetting the impact of rising upstream wafer costs—for example, Powerchip’s DRAM wafers have risen around 45%. As a result, multiple fabless firms focused on traditional memory chips are expected to post very strong third-quarter financial results.
