【4E：U.S. stocks continue to fall, crypto market remains under pressure】On December 31, news from 4E monitoring indicated that U.S. stocks fell broadly on Monday without significant negative news driving the market, with all three major indices closing down about 1%. Aside from Nvidia, which rose 0.35%, almost all tech giants saw declines. Despite the poor performance of U.S. stocks at the year's end, the S&P rose about 24% for the year, the Dow Jones increased about 13%, both marking the best performance since 2021, while the Nasdaq surged nearly 30%, achieving the longest quarterly gain since 2021. The crypto market continued to be under pressure, with Bitcoin, after hitting a historical high of $108,353 on December 17, undergoing a continued pullback, facing strong selling pressure again last night, dipping to a low of $91,530, a new low in nearly two weeks, down over 15% from its peak, but up nearly 110% for the year. Altcoins, driven by Bitcoin, also showed a declining pattern, with many altcoins nearly erasing the gains from this round of market movement during the second round of adjustments. During the general market decline, AI concept Meme tokens surged against the trend, becoming the biggest market highlight, with ai16z and ELIZA both reaching historical highs, showing significant capital inflow. In the foreign exchange market, the U.S. dollar index continued to strengthen, rising about 0.1%, nearing a two-year high, up 6.7% for the year; the euro fell 5.7% against the dollar this year, and the pound dropped 1.2%. The oil market saw a slight increase, with U.S. crude oil approaching $71, rising over 1% during the day. Spot gold fell over 0.5% to below $2,600, with an annual gain of nearly 27%. Year-end financial market trading is light, and the atmosphere of profit-taking is strong, with liquidity trending towards tightening, making short-term declines the path of least resistance in the market. As major institutions near the end of the year rebalance their investment portfolios and the selling of risk assets comes to a close, positions will gradually be built at the beginning of the year. Historical data shows that the probability of a rise in January is greater than that of a decline. eeee.com is a financial trading platform that supports assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indices, bulk gold, and foreign exchange, recently launching a USDT stablecoin financial product with an annualized yield of 5.5%, providing investors with potential hedging options. 4E reminds you to pay attention to market volatility risks and to allocate assets reasonably.
