Analysts attribute the market's upward trend to a sharp decline in expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in October. This shift follows weaker-than-expected U.S. labor market data. Additionally, a weaker U.S. dollar and stabilization in the bond market have boosted investor interest in riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies.
