Yesterday's inability of Bitcoin to firmly hold above the $44,000 mark brings us to an analysis of the market situation for alternative coins Algorand (ALGO) and Filecoin (FIL) as of Thursday, December 21.
Algorand (ALGO)
Since mid-October, ALGO has been trading in an active upward trend, appreciating by 140%. However, the positive momentum in Algorand has recently slowed down, and the asset has been trading sideways for the past two weeks.
The current resistance zone for ALGO lies between $0.210 and $0.223. If buyers manage to break through this range, the next target will be the $0.23 level, which could pave the way to new highs. However, this is contingent upon avoiding a deeper correction in BTC, as the correlation between these assets remains significant.
In the event of continued retracement, ALGO might retest support zones between $0.173-$0.184 and $0.150-$0.640. In case of a deeper correction, it could reach down to $0.133.

Filecoin (FIL)
Filecoin continues its upward trajectory, recently setting a local high at $6.2. However, to reach its annual high, FIL needs to appreciate an additional 75%.
Such a scenario is feasible if the upward trend continues, including in Bitcoin's performance. The immediate task for buyers is to consolidate the asset’s price above the resistance zones of $5.61-$5.94 and $6.2.
Should FIL’s correction deepen, the coin might drop to buyer zones at $4.83-$5.08, $4.18-$4.50, and $3.94. The depth of any further decline will also depend on the BTC trajectory.
