Altcoins turn bullish even as Bitcoin price slips below $46K again

ID, PAC and RVN lead the altcoin breakout, while Bitcoin price targets new lows below $46,000.

The mood across the cryptocurrency is one of growing anticipation as the price of Bitcoin (BTC) continues to trade just below $47,000. The sideways price action has analysts warning that an “explosive volatility period” is rapidly approaching but few have been willing to predict the direction of the breakout.

Everest expands its interoperability

Everest is a blockchain company with a focus on removing barriers to public services and enhancing economic inclusion through the creation of a device-free, global digital transaction protocol with built-in identity features.

The climbing price of ID comes as the Everest project is in the process of rolling out bridges connecting EverChain with multiple blockchain networks including Polygon (MATIC), Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Avalanche (AVAX) and Solana (SOL).

PAC Protocol rolls out data storage accounts

The PAC Procotol, a next-generation blockchain masternode network that has more than 18,000 active nodes, saw its token price increase 36% over the past 24-hours.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and CoinGecko shows that after hitting a low of $0.002 on Dec. 31, the price of PAC climbed 79% to hit a daily high at $0.00359 on Jan. 3 as its 24-hour trading volume spiked by 50%.
