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.

Papertrade responds to allegations of price manipulation and protocol vulnerabilities: The issue arises from loose position limits during its initial launch phase, and parameters have already begun to be tightened.

Papertrade’s official response to allegations of price manipulation exploits and critical protocol vulnerabilities states that it has never been feasible to grant equal priority to small and large orders. Doing so would lead to front-end congestion from spam transactions—a far worse outcome than the current queuing mechanism. Against these constraints, the team has designed the fair launch to be as inclusive as possible. Last night’s manipulation attempt targeting the BTC/ETH pair on Hyperliquid’s Best Bid Offer (BBO) was not a flaw in the six-month-developed mechanism. Such scenarios were already accounted for; the incident only occurred because position limits were set very loosely during the early launch phase to mitigate congestion. Had position limits been imposed during peak queuing demand, it would have only exacerbated slow user experiences. The queuing mechanism itself, due to uncertainty in entry/exit confirmation times, actually provides natural protection against manipulation. As congestion eases, the team has begun tightening position limits at both on-chain and relay levels. In such a system, manipulation attacks are always possible—the key is whether such attempts are economically viable. The official goal is to set parameters such that manipulation is almost never profitable. Even if successful, tail risks are extremely high, and the expected value is negative.

Analysis: 53% of Bitcoin's holdings are concentrated above $83,000, with the $84,000 to $85,000 range serving as a key breakout level.

Crypto analyst Darkfost notes that approximately 53% of total invested capital is concentrated above Bitcoin’s current price level of around $83,000, meaning buying Bitcoin at this level would put your holding cost lower than more than half of existing investors. The $84,000–$85,000 range is the largest cluster of trading positions; many investors react at this key level, making it Bitcoin’s core resistance that it must break through. Moving lower, the $79,000–$77,000 range may act as a support level. If the price fails to effectively break through the $84,000–$85,000 range, the market may first retest this support zone. Once the price breaks above this dense position cluster with significant trading volume and holds steady there, it will mean the cost pressure for most existing holders has been absorbed, and subsequent upward resistance will ease noticeably.
