🔎 Market Movement Implications
- The continued high demand for the dollar reflects a clear gap between supply and demand, despite central bank interventions.
- The limited impact of regulatory measures indicates that the parallel market remains the primary driver of price trends.
- Prices approaching the 10-dinar barrier confirm that the market is in a state of anticipation, with the possibility of continued increases if demand levels do not recede.
