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.

QCP Capital: U.S. Government Shutdown Crisis Averted, $75,000 Key Level for Bitcoin

On February 4, QCP Capital noted in its official channel that at the macro level, while the U.S. government shutdown cloud has lifted, a key takeaway is that fiscal standoffs could quickly return. Funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was only extended through February 13, leaving another deadline risk on the table. Additionally, after the U.S. downed an Iranian drone near the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, oil prices are building a modest geopolitical risk premium—though diplomatic signals continue to cap upside. Stateside, political sparring over the Fed has reignited. Trump has nominated Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair, reintroducing broad uncertainty. If investors begin betting on a higher chance of deeper rate cuts later this year, this could modestly support risk assets and weaken the dollar—but also redirect focus to the Fed’s balance sheet. Warsh has signaled a preference for a faster balance sheet runoff, which would directly impac

CZ: $863K Scam Blogger 'Weiwei' Possibly Operated by Binance Competitor

On February 4, CZ (Changpeng Zhao) posted on his X account (863k followers) in response to a "Potential Scammer" post: “Who’d impersonate a BNB supporter, use fake AI-generated pics nonstop for months just to spread FUD? I can’t think of any other angle—feels like someone from another self-proclaimed project did this. They’re more focused on us than their own project. That account used to seem like it belonged to a woman. Before February 2015, it mostly posted photos of women. Then in July 2015, it suddenly switched to only crypto-related content—either hacked or sold. They didn’t even bother deleting the old pics; you can still find them on the media tab. Total lazy troll.”

Federal Court Sentences Incognito Market Founder Rui-Siang Lin to 30 Years in Prison

On Tuesday, February 4, U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon sentenced Rui-Siang Lin—the 24-year-old founder of dark web marketplace Incognito Market, who operated under the alias “Pharaoh”—to 30 years in prison for running a cryptocurrency-powered platform that facilitated over $105 million in illegal drug transactions. Per a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, Incognito Market relied on crypto payments and an internal “Incognito Bank” system to let buyers and vendors transact digital assets anonymously. Prosecutors noted the platform was active from October 2020 until its shutdown in March 2024, enabling the global sale of more than a ton of illegal drugs. Judge McMahon also ordered Lin to forfeit $105,045,109 and serve five years of supervised release following his prison term. Lin pleaded guilty in December 2024 to conspiracy to distribute illicit goods, money laundering, and conspiracy to sell counterfeit drugs.
