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.

Coinbase makes a comprehensive push into AiFi, building financial infrastructure for the AI agent economy.

According to official announcements, Coinbase has announced a full-scale push into the "Agentic Economy", covering three groups: users who utilize AI agents, enterprises that provide services to AI agents, and developers building products and infrastructure for AI agents. Coinbase says it is constructing a comprehensive financial service system for AI agents: AI agents can conduct research, planning, decision-making, and trading on its "Everything Exchange", covering assets including cryptocurrencies, stocks, derivatives, and more. The company is also launching Coinbase Advisor, an AI investment advisor built into the Coinbase app to assist users in making investment decisions. On the enterprise front, Coinbase is introducing payment capabilities for AI agents, allowing businesses to accept USDC payments from AI agents via Coinbase Business, with native integration of the x402 standard—no need to build separate payment processes. Coinbase notes that this solution eliminates credit card-style chargeback risks, idle USDC can earn 3.35% rewards, and enterprises can manage funds, reconcile accounts, and withdraw funds all within the same account. Additionally, Coinbase has launched the CDP x402 SDK, enabling developers to integrate AI agent payment capabilities into APIs or MCPs with just approximately 3 lines of code, without requiring deep expertise in x402 technology. Coinbase adds that as AI agents gain autonomous payment capabilities, they also require a marketplace to discover and purchase services. The x402 is emerging as an open payment standard for machines, enabling agent-to-agent transactions without human intervention; when AI agents need capital, they can turn to Coinbase. The company refers to this entire ecosystem as "AI Finance" (AiFi), stating that the global economy is being restructured around AI agents.

As of press time, today's box office has reached 852,800 yuan. BlockBeats reminds users that most Meme coins lack practical use cases, feature highly volatile prices, and thus require caution for investment.

Analysis: Bitcoin is in the "extreme discount" zone of the Rainbow Chart, with its downward deviation surpassing that of the previous bear market bottom.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. noted in a post that Bitcoin is currently trading in the lowest range of the Rainbow Chart model — "basically a fire sale price". This represents an extreme discount relative to the cryptocurrency’s long-term price trajectory, and is not merely a measure of how much Bitcoin has declined. The Rainbow Chart model compares Bitcoin’s current price to its long-term trend, so the gap reflects the market’s deviation from historical patterns. The volatility-adjusted Z-Score now stands at -2.293, the lowest reading since 2016 and lower than the -1.979 recorded at the 2022 bear market bottom. This metric accounts for volatility differences across distinct market cycles, meaning the current downward deviation from the model is more severe than that seen at the last bear market’s trough. Bitcoin is now in an extreme discount zone, with the volatility-adjusted Z-Score hitting a 10-year low. This signals significant undervaluation relative to the model, but it does not alone confirm the final market bottom. Extremely low valuations point to a potentially attractive entry range, though a market reversal would need separate confirmation. Note: The Z-Score is a widely used standardized statistical metric that quantifies how far a data point lies from the mean, measured in units of standard deviation.

Stepping into the fray! DeFiLlama reported the fraudulent app for months to no avail, and only after testing it themselves and falling victim to theft did Apple finally take it down from its App Store.

DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi posted on social media that for months, he has been working to get Apple’s App Store to take down a fake app impersonating DeFiLlama, repeatedly reporting trademark infringement and unauthorized impersonation of the official app to Apple. The team then loaded a small amount of funds into a test wallet, downloaded the fake application, and as expected, all funds in the wallet were stolen. The incident was reported to Apple, and the app was removed from the store within days. 0xngmi noted that he hopes other cryptocurrency companies will learn from this to avoid wasting time on similar efforts, as his team did.
