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.

If Bitcoin breaks $92,000, mainstream CEX aggregate short liquidation strength will reach $1.15 billion

On January 9th, Coinglass data shows that if Bitcoin breaks above $92,000, cumulative short liquidations across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) could hit $1.15 billion. Conversely, should Bitcoin drop below $89,000, cumulative long liquidations on these top CEXs may reach $944 million. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts to be liquidated. Instead, the bars represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters—i.e., their intensity. In short, the chart indicates how pronounced the market reaction will be if a specific price level is breached. A taller "liquidation bar" signals a more intense response (driven by a liquidity cascade) once that price is hit.

Rising US Inflation Expectations, Deteriorating Job Prospects Could Deter Fed Rate Move This Month

On January 9th, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s monthly survey revealed U.S. inflation expectations climbed in December, while consumer perceptions of job opportunities hit their lowest level in at least 12.5 years. Key data highlights: - Consumers expect annual inflation to reach 3.4% over the next year, up from 3.2% in November. - The perceived probability of finding a new job after becoming unemployed dropped to 43.1%—the lowest since the bank launched its consumer expectation surveys in mid-2013. The findings underscore a divide among Fed officials: some prioritize inflation risks, while others flag a greater threat of rising unemployment. This split is likely to complicate the central bank’s rate adjustment decisions at its next policy meeting later this month. (Source: FX678)

Analysis: Bitcoin Key Support Level is Near $89,200, Traders Still Buying the Dip with Leverage

January 9 (CoinDesk) — Bitcoin bounced back to ~$90,500 on Wednesday, after briefly dipping to ~$89,300 and testing support at its 50-day moving average (~$89,200). It marks the crypto’s third straight day of pullback, following a Monday surge to nearly $95k. Crypto trading firm Wintermute cited low trading volume and profit-taking as the main drivers of the decline. “After a post-New Year risk appetite rebound, the market failed to break above the key $95k level—sparking two days of volatile trading, with ETF outflows leading the charge,” said Jake Ostrovskis, Wintermute’s OTC trading lead. “The Fed’s recent downward revision of rate cut expectations has also weighed on the market.” CME FedWatch data shows the probability of a Fed rate cut at its Jan. 28 meeting is now just 11.6%—down from 15.5% a week ago and 23.5% a month prior.
