IOTA experienced an abnormal surge today, with a maximum increase of 25%, making its short-term performance quite eye-catching. The underlying reasons are worth a closer look.

First, from a technical ecosystem perspective, IOTA's development activity on GitHub has once again returned to the top tier in the industry. This is not fake data—more and more real-world projects are building on its trust framework, from the Internet of Things to supply chains, with application scenarios gradually being implemented. This improvement in technical fundamentals provides solid support for the price increase.

Second, there was a significant on-chain movement. 740,338 IOTA tokens were transferred in a short period, equivalent to approximately 75,000 USD in RMB. Although the parties involved did not disclose their true intentions, such large on-chain transactions usually indicate something—likely institutional-level funds are positioning in advance or preparing to participate in a certain partnership project.

From a technical standpoint, the trigger price is around 0.1275, with a 5-minute increase of 21.08%, a 15-minute jump to 21.89%, and even reaching 25.37% on the 4-hour chart. The simultaneous rise across multiple timeframes reflects a consensus in market sentiment.

However, a reminder that abnormal surges often also mean risk release, so close observation is needed to see if this level can be maintained.
