Key Insights

  • Solana and Filecoin have just announced a partnership, in which Solana leverages Filecoin for scalable data storage, and Filecoin gains speed and affordability with Solana.
  • This integration opens doors for social media, gaming, AI, and video streaming dApps.
  • Solana's bullish indicators suggest the potential for higher highs, with key support at $105.86.
  • Filecoin's analysis: shows that there is a resistance at $6.48, leading to a potential rally to $8.1 or higher.

A strategic collaboration between SOL and Filecoin, a decentralized storage network, aims to enhance the storage and retrieval of data via blockchain technology.

The collaboration aims to leverage the strengths of both projects and create a stronger, more scalable environment for the emerging Web 3.0.

How Solana and Filecoin Work Together

SOL and Filecoin are two of the most popular blockchains in their respective niches.

According to a recent announcement from Filecoin, a new collaboration with SOL is set to be launched very soon, to the benefit of both networks and their users.

Per the announcement, the SOL network will be able to enhance data redundancy, scalability, and security by storing its block history and other data, using Filecoin.

In return, by using Solana's speed and efficiency, Filecoin will be able to perform verifications and data transfers more quickly and affordably.

Additionally, developers and users who want to create and use dapps that need reliable data storage and fast computing will have a readily available alternative, thanks to the integration.

This way, we can have more applications like social networking, gaming, artificial intelligence, and decentralized video streaming, powered by both Filecoin and SOL.

Solana's Price Action

According to Solana's Chart shown below, the cryptocurrency appears poised to make further higher highs soon.

Solana's price performance

As shown by the chart above, Solana got interrupted around the $116 price level, after attempting to break above the $126 resistance from 25 December 2023.

The cryptocurrency's RSI on the daily chart shows an incoming bullish crossover between the MACD and the RSI signal line, indicating that the bulls are getting back in on the action.

Moreover, the price of SOL has also rebounded off the 20-day EMA (red line) around $105.86, and promises a great week for the cryptocurrency, as long as the  $105.86 support remains unbroken.

If we do see a break below this support though, Solana may retest its 50-day EMA again, somewhere around $98.

Filecoin (FIL) Price Analysis

Filecoin has been through some pretty rough weather, losing nearly 40% of its price gains since 1 January, as shown below:

Filecoin's price performance

The cryptocurrency isn't letting any of that stop it though. We have Filecoin rebounding off the ascending trendline shown above, as well as its 20-day EMA.

The cryptocurrency is currently facing some resistance around $6.48 and could be in for some turbulence around this price level.

However, if we do see a decisive break and close above this price level, Filecoin could be poised to rally straight up to $8.1 or even higher.
