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.

Qwen3.8-Flash Gets Price Cut Just One Day After Launch: Its output costs 0.1 yuan cheaper than GLM, while competitors are still offering 50% discounts.

Dongcha Beating AI News Brief: Just one day after the launch of Qwen3.8-Flash, Alibaba Cloud has already cut its pricing. The cost per million input tokens dropped from 1 yuan to 0.8 yuan, while output tokens fell from 3 yuan to 2.7 yuan, marking respective reductions of 20% and 10%. The new Qwen price just undercuts GLM-5.3-Flash, which was released yesterday. GLM-5.3-Flash’s API is priced at 0.8 yuan per input token and 2.8 yuan per output token. Qwen matches GLM’s input price, with output 0.1 yuan cheaper. However, GLM-5.3-Flash offers a 50% discount for its first two weeks post-launch, bringing its current actual price to just 0.4 yuan per input token and 1.4 yuan per output token. During the promotion period, GLM remains nearly half cheaper. Once the discount expires, the prices of these two domestic Flash models will be roughly equal.

Google’s Most Powerful Speech-to-Text Model Debuts: Ranks Among Top 5 in Accuracy, Still Falls Short of ElevenLabs

Beating AI News Flash: Google has launched Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, its most accurate speech-to-text model to date, and the first dedicated transcription model from Google to feature a Smart mode. The model comes in two versions—real-time and audio recording transcription—and is now open for public beta testing via the Gemini API. In an evaluation by Artificial Analysis, the non-streaming Word Error Rate (WER, lower is better) stands at 2.6%, while the real-time version hits 4.0%. Final transcription latency is 70% shorter than that of its predecessor, Chirp 3. The Smart mode goes beyond literal word-for-word transcription: for example, if a user says “Meeting on Tuesday, no, Wednesday,” it will retain only “Wednesday”; filler words like “um” and “ah” are automatically removed, and spoken content can be organized into paragraphs, lists, dates, and numbers. For verbatim meeting notes, users can switch back to the default literal transcription mode. The model supports over 85 languages, allows mid-transcription language switching, and supports adding custom domain-specific vocabulary. Pricing is approximately $0.005 per minute for audio transcription (equivalent to $5 per 1,000 minutes) and $0.009 per minute for the real-time version. In independent benchmarks, Gemini 3.5 Transcribe is more accurate than OpenAI’s GPT Transcribe (3.3% WER) but lags behind ElevenLabs’ Scribe v2, which has a 2.2% WER and costs roughly $3.67 per 1,000 minutes. The model is already integrated into Android’s Rambler and the macOS version of Gemini, and will soon roll out to Chrome, enabling direct voice-to-text input in web text boxes.

Viewpoint: Bitcoin faces multiple layers of resistance in the $83,000–$86,000 range, and leveraged positions have not been re-increased.

Glassnode’s market analysis shows that during Bitcoin’s current rebound window, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $2.23 billion, marking the strongest weekly inflow since 2026. Bitcoin continues to flow out of exchanges, while wallets of all sizes are accumulating holdings. Over the same period, Bitcoin futures open interest fell 11% in coin terms, with funding rates remaining largely neutral, indicating no significant reaccumulation of market leverage. From a market structure perspective, Bitcoin is currently in a recovery phase, but upward supply pressure is building. Data shows cost-base resistance from self-custody holders starting around $80,800, a dealer gamma flip point near $82,300, and multiple resistances in the $82,000–$86,000 range including short liquidations, long-term holder supply, and order book sell orders. Glassnode notes that the $83,000–$86,000 range is the core supply zone facing this rebound; if Bitcoin can hold above $83,300 while ETF inflows continue, it may signal the market is gradually absorbing this supply wall. On the downside, the cost base for short-term holders is around $70,000, while the $62,000–$65,000 range forms a more critical bottom support zone. The options market is not pricing in a clear directional breakout expectation; as of the September 25 expiry, the options-implied 70% middle outcome range is roughly $69,000–$89,700, overall pointing to Bitcoin continuing to oscillate between key support and resistance levels. Glassnode believes a break below $70,000 would first test the $62,000–$65,000 support zone; a drop back to near $62,900 would likely mean this rebound has been fully reversed.

Whale Tracking: The whale bearish on the BTC/ETH exchange rate added another 50% to their position yesterday, with the total position size reaching nearly $30 million.

According to monitoring by TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight), the 0x0911 whale that opened a "buy ETH, sell BTC" pair position two days ago is still adding to its holdings. The nominal value of both legs has expanded from an initial ~$20 million to ~$29.38 million, a rise of ~46.9%. As of press time, the address holds a long position of 5,943.61 ETH worth ~$14.819 million, with an average entry price of $2,486.64, generating an unrealized profit of ~$39,000. It also holds a short position of 184.95 BTC worth ~$14.558 million, with an average entry price of $79,804, for an unrealized profit of ~$201,000. The sizes of both legs remain roughly balanced, with a total unrealized profit of ~$241,000. When the position was opened on August 25, BTC outperformed ETH by ~2.2 percentage points in the prior 24 hours, and the average execution price of the two TWAP trades corresponded to a BTC/ETH ratio of ~32.20. The current BTC/ETH ratio has dropped to ~31.57, a decrease of ~2% from that level. Currently, both the ETH long and BTC short positions are generating unrealized profits: if the BTC/ETH ratio continues to decline, the pair position will keep benefiting; if it rebounds back to around ~32.20, the existing unrealized profit will face a pullback, excluding transaction fees and funding rates for now. Previous news: BTC/ETH ratio falls back to 32.2, how does the $20 million whale expect the ratio to move?

Shipping volume through the Strait of Hormuz saw a slight rebound on Wednesday, while shipping activity through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait slowed.

Data shows that despite ongoing geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran, shipping volumes through the Strait of Hormuz have seen a slight rebound. Kpler data indicates that 10 tracked commodity transport vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, a minor increase from 8 on Tuesday, but still below the 10-day moving average of around 15 vessels. Two medium-sized product tankers, one liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier, one Panamax tanker, and three handysize tankers entered the Strait of Hormuz from the Gulf of Oman. One medium-sized product tanker, one bitumen carrier, and one bulk carrier exited the waterway from the Gulf side. Meanwhile, shipping volumes through another key waterway, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, slowed for the second consecutive day. Kpler data shows that a total of 19 commodity transport vessels transited the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on Wednesday, including 6 exiting tankers, one of which is a very large crude carrier (VLCC). The total number of transiting vessels was lower than the 24 recorded the previous day.

Zhipu AI's flagship model GLM 5.3 will be open-sourced at 10 AM on August 28.

Beating AI Express News: Zhipu AI’s flagship model GLM-5.3 will be open-sourced at 10 AM Beijing Time on August 28. GLM-5.3 was already launched on Coding Plan on August 14, with its API opened shortly after. The model weights are finally available for download tomorrow, two weeks behind schedule, for a specific reason. Zhipu AI stated that GLM-5.3’s cybersecurity capabilities improved “faster than expected” during post-training, with the model not only becoming more adept at identifying vulnerabilities but also learning to plan full multi-step exploit chains. The official thus conducted security assessments and hardening work before releasing the weights. In official evaluations, GLM-5.3 scored 84.5% in the vulnerability detection test CyberGym, slightly higher than Mythos 5’s 83.8% and GPT-5.6 Sol’s 83.6%. On ExploitBench, a test focused on attack exploitation, its score jumped from 24.4% for GLM-5.2 to 54.4%—though it still lags far behind Mythos 5’s 78.0%. Zhipu AI added that the model has already found 2,436 vulnerabilities across 269 open-source projects, with 1,097 classified as critical or high-severity. GLM-5.3 retains the same base model as GLM-5.2, with all performance improvements coming from post-training.
