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.

Nic Carter: Quantum Computing is Only "an Engineering Hurdle" Away from Breaking Bitcoin, 1.7 Million Bitcoins at Risk

On December 20, Nic Carter—founder of smart contracts and co-founder of Castle Island Ventures—published a lengthy article. In it, he noted that leading quantum theorist Scott Aaronson’s research indicates breaking Bitcoin with quantum computing is merely an “extremely difficult” engineering challenge, not a requirement for new basic physics discoveries. Carter pointed out Bitcoin could theoretically implement a soft fork to adopt a post-quantum (PQ) signature scheme; some PQ encryption/signature schemes already exist. The main hurdles, however, are selecting the specific PQ scheme, organizing the soft fork, and migrating all addresses holding tens of millions in combined balances. As a result, mitigating Bitcoin’s quantum decryption risk could take nearly a decade. Further, a large portion of vulnerable Bitcoin sits in abandoned addresses, and their owners can’t be forced to move the funds. Even if Bitcoin upgrades to PQ signatures, it would still face the risk of 1.7 million BT

Prominent Macro Analyst: Liquidity Easing Requires Nuclear-Grade Money Printing, Short-Term Bearish on Bitcoin

**Bitcoin: Luke Gromen Shifts to Short-Term Bearish (Dec 20) – Key Notes** On December 20th, Luke Gromen—founder of Forest for the Trees and a macroeconomic analyst—told *The Monetary Matters Network* podcast he’s now short-term bearish on Bitcoin, despite being long-term bullish (he bought most of his position below $30k in late 2022/early 2023 and has never sold). His reasons for the shift: 1. Bitcoin remains highly correlated with tech stocks, but future AI competition’s bottleneck is **electricity** (not semiconductors) → dim outlook for both tech and Bitcoin. 2. Bitcoin has failed to break out relative to gold, and the future liquidity environment is: *“Unless it’s nuclear-grade money printing, it’s tightening.”* 3. Quantum computing poses a threat to Bitcoin (a risk 2–9 years out). Gromen also emphasized Tether’s moves as critical: the firm recently invested in AI and gold, and its **gold balance sheet position now exceeds its Bitcoin holdings**.
