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.

Analysis: Weak demand persists in the US market, Bitcoin's July rally may struggle to sustain
Multiple indicators show Bitcoin’s July rally remains fragile. One of the most closely watched metrics, the Coinbase Premium Index, has been negative for 50 consecutive days. The index measures the price gap of BTC between U.S. exchange Coinbase and Binance. BTC’s price on Coinbase has consistently lagged that on Binance, indicating relatively weak demand in the U.S. market. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have posted net outflows for 8 straight weeks, while historically, Bitcoin bull markets are typically accompanied by a consistently positive Coinbase Premium Index. Japanese bond yields have continued to climb, with the 10-year Japanese Government Bond (JGB) yield hitting a 30-year high and pushing up borrowing costs in the U.S., U.K., and Germany. If U.S. Treasury yields keep rising, this could act as a headwind for BTC. Bitfinex analysts noted that structural institutional buying has not been confirmed until BlackRock’s IBIT resumes consistent net inflows. Singapore-based crypto trading firm QCP Capital said that if spot Bitcoin ETFs sustain the inflow trend seen since last Friday, the short-term outlook remains constructive. The firm added that if BTC firmly reclaims the $64,000 level this week, it will further boost market sentiment and ease concerns over publicly traded Bitcoin holder MicroStrategy (MSTR).
