As Bitcoin continues to trade sideways, altcoins have made moves in the last 24 hours. Crypto trader Rager highlights that Bitcoin remains in a sideways move and that some altcoins have better setups for trades at the moment. He said this could change at any moment with fundamentals or news, and added, “Take what the market gives you during sideways price action.”
After an impressive run buoyed by Blackrock’s spot ETF filing, Bitcoin continues to trade between the $30,000 and $31,000 price range.
Another potential catalyst
The weekend saw a “rate limit controversy” sparked by Twitter’s decision to impose reading limits on users while citing “extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation.”
This might have brought attention back to decentralized data storage protocols such as Filecoin and The Graph, whose prices have been on the rise for the last 24 hours.
The Graph is an indexing protocol for querying data on networks. Anyone can build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, that applications can query using GraphQL to retrieve blockchain data.
Filecoin describes itself as an open-source and decentralized storage system. On the Filecoin platform, developers have the opportunity to create cloud file storage services.
