【4E: U.S. Stocks Continue to Decline, Crypto Market Remains Under Pressure】On December 31, news from 4E monitoring indicates that U.S. stocks fell broadly on Monday without any significant negative news driving the market, with all three major indices closing down about 1%. With the exception of Nvidia, which rose 0.35% against the trend, almost all tech giants declined. Despite the poor performance of U.S. stocks at the end of the year, the S&P 500 rose about 24% for the year, the Dow Jones gained about 13%, both marking the best performances since 2021, and the Nasdaq increased nearly 30%, achieving the longest quarterly consecutive rise since 2021. The crypto market continues to be under pressure, with Bitcoin experiencing a continuous pullback after hitting an all-time high of $108,353 on December 17, and facing strong selling pressure again last night, dropping to a low of $91,530, marking a new low in nearly two weeks, having fallen over 15% from its peak, but still up nearly 110% for the year. Altcoins also showed a downward trend driven by Bitcoin, with many altcoins nearly erasing their gains from this round of market activity during the second adjustment. While the market broadly declined, AI concept meme tokens surged against the trend, becoming the biggest hotspot in the market, with ai16z and ELIZA both hitting new all-time highs, indicating significant capital inflow.

The oil market saw a slight increase, with U.S. oil approaching $71 again, rising over 1% during the day. Spot gold fell over 0.5% to below $2,600, with a cumulative increase of nearly 27% this year. Year-end financial market trading is thin, with a strong atmosphere of profit-taking, and tighter liquidity makes short-term declines the path of least resistance in the market. After large institutions finish rebalancing their portfolios towards the end of the year, they will gradually build positions at the beginning of the year.
