Yesterday afternoon, the performance of a certain popular cryptocurrency was quite interesting. As of 4:00 PM on January 9th, the real-time price was at $0.1424, just 5.3% away from the psychological barrier of $0.15.

From a technical perspective, this asset increased by 12.85% that day, with a trading volume of $14.82 million. Liquidity is basically not an issue, providing solid support for the price to push upward. Coupled with Bitcoin's recent leadership, the overall market sentiment has also warmed up. In this context, breaking through $0.15 wouldn't be considered a rare event.

But to be fair, this coin's intraday volatility is indeed quite intense, and many platform data suggest a short-term slight pullback might be imminent. Investors should be cautious at this point: once the price reaches a key level, profit-taking is very likely, which could lead to more violent fluctuations. So even with a positive atmosphere, one should beware of sudden sharp declines.
