BlockBeats News, December 18 — QCP Capital stated on its official channel that the market is ending the year with a fragile balance of confidence and caution. The Federal Reserve’s dovish rate cuts are mixed with hawkish tendencies, signaling support for the labor market while firmly focusing on inflation. The dot plot indicates that the interest rate path will become more gradual, with the market currently pricing in approximately 2 to 3 rate cuts next year. The stock market remains a key macro swing factor. Capital continues to flow into artificial intelligence infrastructure, but its monetization process is lagging. If income growth cannot keep pace with investment, risks will spread from the AI sector, potentially triggering a broader stock market revaluation in 2026. The cryptocurrency market still faces pressure as Morgan Stanley Capital International reviews the eligibility of digital asset asset management companies for index inclusion. This could trigger passive fund outflows of up to $2.8 billion.
