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.

Bonk Guy: The launch of Arc's mainnet may present short-term trading opportunities, and he has already taken positions in Launchpad tokens such as LONG.

Renowned crypto trader Bonk Guy shared his insights on Arc Chain in a post, revealing that multiple Arc ecosystem builders have reached out to him over the past weeks to attract high-frequency traders to participate in the chain’s early launch. He had previously overlooked Arc, as he believed on-chain activity in this cycle would center primarily on Robinhood, BNB Chain, and Solana. However, news that FOMO will integrate Arc within days of its launch shifted his short-term outlook on the chain. FOMO is fast becoming a key crypto trading app for retail investors in this cycle; it had not integrated Hyperliquid, Tron, or TON before, though tokens on these three chains have each surpassed $100 million in market cap. Thus, if FOMO supports Arc from its early launch stages, it could bring notable short-term trading opportunities for traders. Moreover, Arc is proactively courting high-frequency traders, signaling it is adopting Robinhood’s early strategy of building on-chain traffic via active trading. Bonk Guy has purchased LONG, the native token of Arc’s main Launchpad, as well as the platform’s top three meme coins. His take on Arc is limited to short-term trading opportunities and does not alter his core view that Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Solana remain the most worthy ecosystems to watch in this cycle. The primary reasons Arc merits attention now are its combination of a new chain, Launchpad, high-frequency traders, and FOMO integration, which may generate early trading opportunities. He also reminds relevant participants that this is a high-risk short-term speculative endeavor.

The ETF Store President: The future of the crypto industry does not depend on the Clarity Act, which only acts as a catalyst.

Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, wrote in a post that while it would be positive if the CLARITY Act secures enough votes to advance this week, he does not believe the bill will be decisive for the crypto industry’s future. Under the Trump administration, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) can still leverage their existing authority to support crypto sector growth. The crypto industry is evolving far faster than policy-making cycles; by the time U.S. policymakers recognize the financial system has already upgraded, the trend may already be irreversible. The CLARITY Act will only serve as an additional catalyst, providing clearer policy expectations for the crypto sector by boosting market confidence that innovations will not be easily reversed, though the industry’s future does not hinge on the bill’s passage.
