The Graph’s GRT token price pulled back on Thursday even after the positive ecosystem news. GRT pulled back to a low of $0.076, which was a few points below this week’s high of $0.088. The token has surged by over 47% this year.
The Graph adds Optimism
In a statement, The Graph announced that it will add Optimism to its network as it continues to expand its ecosystem. This means that Optimism developers will be able to use The Graph’s query technology to access data in their platforms. The data will be served by subgraphs on the decentralized network.
Optimism is a leading layer-2 network that helps developers to build decentralized applications. Like other layer 2 platforms, Optimism supercharges dApps by increasing their speeds and lowering their transaction costs.
Optimism has been used to supercharge 97 DeFi dApps that have a total value locked (TVL) of more than $646 million. Some of the top dApps that use its technology are Synthetix, AAVE V3, Velodrome, Curve, and Uniswap V3.
The Graph’s integration came in the same week that the network integrated other networks like Celo,Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Gnosis. All these blockchains are solving important challenges in the blockchain industry. Combined, they all have a total value locked (TVL) of more than $3 billion.
The Graph price prediction
The daily chart shows that the GRT price pulled back even after the developers added four new chains to its network. This retreat is mostly because of a situation known as buying the rumour and selling the news. The coin also retreated because of the overall performance of the crypto and stocks sectors.
Therefore, I believe that The Graph will continue falling and then retest the important support level at $0.666, the highest point on November 29. If this happens, the coin will then resume the bullish trend and retest the key level at $0.10.
