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.

Crypto Market Sees Minor Rebound, Funding Rates Indicate BTC and ETH Still in Bearish Territory

June 20: According to HTX market data, Bitcoin is currently trading at $63,671.32, with a 1.60% increase over the past 24 hours. Ethereum is priced at $1,723.81, marking a 1.64% 24-hour gain. The crypto market has seen a minor rebound, but funding rates signal both BTC and ETH remain in bearish territory. For Bitcoin, funding rates across all platforms are fully below the threshold, with half now turning negative—meaning the recent price uptick hasn’t driven a corresponding boost in bullish sentiment. Ethereum’s overall funding rate is also stuck in bearish levels, though most of its rates stay positive, with sentiment slightly stronger than BTC’s. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency exchanges to keep perpetual contract prices aligned with their underlying asset prices. This is a fund swap mechanism between long and short traders; platforms do not collect these fees directly. The rate adjusts the costs or profits for traders holding contracts to ensure contra

Tom Lee: Investors Overreacted to the Fed Meeting, Which Was Actually Quite Dovish

June 20 – Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine (Ethereum’s largest treasury), told CNBC in an interview that investors overreacted to the recent Federal Reserve policy meeting. The new Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, has a distinct communication style and plans to monitor economic data in a more modern, real-time-focused manner, Lee explained. The market interpreted the Fed’s removal of forward guidance and adjustments to its dot plot as a hawkish pivot, but Lee argues this is Warsh signaling reliance on modern alternative data to assess inflation—not a clear, fixed policy stance right now. Lee called the meeting’s outcome actually market-friendly, noting investors should understand the dot plot will shift quickly as economic data evolves. Overall, he views the meeting as “quite dovish.” On the S&P 500’s outlook, Fundstrat expects a sudden market swing later this year that would feel like a bear market. Still, Lee stopped short of naming an official market top, pointing to the current favorab

Bitwise: Bitcoin Significantly Undervalued Compared to AI Stocks, But Fed Hawkish Risk Remains

Bitwise analysts said in a June 20 update that despite lingering hawkish risks from the Federal Reserve, Bitcoin’s valuation remains in a historically undervalued range. The Bitcoin Mayer Multiple has dropped below 1.0—a level that has historically correlated with long-term accumulation phases—indicating BTC carries "deep value" characteristics, per the firm. That said, investor participation in crypto stays low. CryptoQuant’s Realized Cap HODL Waves indicator has been in bear market territory since late October 2025, signaling a steady slowdown in new capital flowing into the Bitcoin network. As of June 17, the indicator’s 7-day and 59-day moving averages have fallen from roughly 70 in the fourth quarter of 2025 to 13.9 and 19.1, respectively. Bitwise also highlighted that Bitcoin’s valuation is significantly discounted compared to AI-focused stocks like NVIDIA, while those AI stocks boast notable premiums over their long-term trend levels. Meanwhile, potential funding or IPO deals

June 20: Aave founder Stani Kulechov revealed that Aave V4 has the potential to overhaul the on-chain securities financing market, labeling this space as one of Wall Street’s largest but most under-the-radar sectors. Securities-backed lending is already a multi-trillion-dollar industry, per Kulechov: the U.S. repo market boasts an average daily outstanding of around $12.6 trillion, margin lending hits $1.3 trillion, wealth management securities-backed lending exceeds $400 billion, and the securities lending market holds roughly $46 trillion in lendable assets—with projected revenue set to hit a record $15 billion by 2025. Aave V4 operates on a "Liquidity Hub + Modular Market" framework: base-layer liquidity is shared across the system, while top-layer markets are segmented by distinct risk parameters, asset sets, and governing rules.

Venus Protocol Launches Tokenized Stock Collateralized Loans Market on BNB Chain

June 20: Venus Protocol has rolled out tokenized stocks (branded bStocks) collateralized lending on the BNB Chain. The new functionality lets users deposit on-chain U.S. equities—including TSLAB, NVDAB, and SPCXB—into the Venus Core Pool as collateral to borrow assets such as USDT and USDC, all while retaining exposure to stock price movements without selling their holdings. This marks Venus’s first support for tokenized stocks as collateral assets. With bStocks now part of its on-chain liquidity market, tokenized stocks join existing offerings like BTC, ETH, BNB, and stablecoins. Following prior additions such as XAUm, Venus is expanding its on-chain collateral range to include stock assets, driving deeper integration between real-world assets (RWA) and decentralized finance (DeFi).

THORChain: Network Recovery Enters Final Phase, Funds to be Transferred to New Treasury

On June 20th, THORChain released an event update noting the network has entered the final stage of its recovery. Right now, the team is validating the integrity of every node’s keyshare via the new KeyVerify protocol—this critical step is meant to confirm each vault is in a secure state before churn gets underway. If the validation goes successfully, the next major milestone will be churn, where the network will transfer all funds to new vaults. The length of churn is the key variable here, ranging anywhere from hours to days. Once churn is complete, subsequent steps are expected to move quickly: re-enabling Secured and Trade assets, LP operations, and finally restoring full trading functionality. This network recovery took longer than initially anticipated because the team has consistently prioritized security and stability above all else. Further updates will be shared regularly as they become available.
