Filecoin Fades After Early Rally, Holds Slightly Above Support
Filecoin (FIL) edged 0.4% higher over the past 24 hours, trading at $1.6314 after surrendering most of its early gains. The decentralized storage token briefly rose by as much as 2% before encountering resistance, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model.
The broader crypto market, tracked by the CoinDesk 20 Index, was up 1.7%, signaling FIL’s relative underperformance despite a notable rise in trading activity.
FIL moved within a narrow $0.06 band, building a sequence of higher lows from its $1.595 open before hitting a resistance ceiling near $1.685. Volume surged 23% above the seven-day average, suggesting some institutional positioning even as the price momentum weakened late in the session.
Filecoin’s team is preparing for its developer summit in Buenos Aires from Nov. 13–15, an event that could attract renewed attention to the network’s long-term roadmap.
