Filecoin and Solana Integration 

According to Filecoin, the integration with Solana marks  a shift from traditional centralized storage methods to a more secure, scalable, and reliable decentralized model. The collaboration will allow Solana to improve its blockchain’s accessibility and functionality for a wide range of users, including infrastructure providers and indexers, by utilizing Filecoin’s advanced decentralized storage solutions.

Solana’s founder, Anatoly Yakovenko, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the crucial role of the RPC service Triton One in facilitating it.

FIL Price Analysis 

After its all-time high of $230 in April 2021, FIL was in a bear market before reaching $3 on December 18, 2022. A horizontal range formed between $3 and $8. This area could be a consolidation or accumulation zone.

FIL at key resistance again.

On October 19, the price returned to its $3 support and bounced, causing another attempt to break out. However, it stopped at $8, resulting in a drop to $5 on January 23. 

This price was a 0.618 Fibonacci level, usually the end of a corrective stage in the starting uptrend. Considering that FIL has started to rise again, this could be the first higher low in a new bull phase. 

If the price continues rising and goes above $8, this would be confirmed, and our next target would be at the 1.618 Fibonacci extension, or nearly $13. Our second target would be at $16.50, another significant level. This should mark the end of the first uptrend in this new starting bull cycle.
