- 03:44The S&P 500 index has experienced a "death cross," the first occurrence since March 2022Golden Finance reports that although the S&P 500 index rose on Monday, it showed a "death cross" signal, with the 50-day moving average crossing below the 200-day moving average for the first time since March 2022. Technical analysts typically view a death cross as a signal that downward momentum will intensify. While this index has usually experienced further declines after previous death crosses, such pain is often short-lived. Data shows that the overall average of the S&P 500 index tends to rise three months, six months, and twelve months later by 2.5%, 4.2%, and 5.8% respectively. Paul Ciana, Chief Technical Strategist at Bank of America Securities, stated that there is no definitive conclusion regarding the impact of the S&P 500's death cross on future market performance. A key factor is whether the closing value of the 200-day moving average has declined over the past five trading days. If so, it may indicate greater downside potential for stocks in the near future. According to Ciana, this could be a clear sign that the index might retest last week's low point of 2025.

- 03:17Analysis: The market is focused on Powell's speech this week, with interest rate cut expectations and global economic recession risks remaining the focal pointsOdaily Planet Daily reported that Carlos Guzman, a research analyst at cryptocurrency market maker GSR, stated that market participants will closely watch Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's speech this week. They are eager to understand the Fed's stance on potential recession issues. He noted, "When the tariff policy was put on hold, people's main concern was that it could lead to a massive economic contraction. At that time, the market expected interest rate cuts four times this year." After Trump announced last week a 90-day suspension of most tariffs, expectations for a recession have decreased and so have expectations for interest rate cuts. However, Guzman mentioned that the market still anticipates more rate cuts than before Trump's announcement of the tariff pause. He said: "If the global economic situation looks bad, the Fed may implement more stimulus policies. This could be positive for cryptocurrencies in the medium term, although in the short term due to recent volatility, the impact may be smaller."
