Why Is The Crypto Market Up?
The cryptocurrency market’s latest resurgence could be due to the US jobs data released on Friday, which went against expert forecasts. The data showed that the pace of hiring strengthened, with 254,000 new jobs.
Another 25 basis point interest rate cut in November is also possible. Traders and investors may be bullish on risky assets, such as cryptocurrencies.
