Filecoin Retreats From Early Gains, Holds Slight Edge as Volume Surges
Filecoin (FIL) edged up 0.4% over the past 24 hours to $1.63, giving back most of its early-session advance after briefly rising 2%. The decentralized storage token underperformed the broader market, with the CoinDesk 20 Index climbing 1.7% during the same period.
Despite the subdued price movement, FIL’s trading volume jumped 23% above its seven-day average, suggesting increased institutional participation even amid modest price volatility.
The token traded within a narrow $0.06 intraday range, forming higher lows from its $1.595 open before meeting resistance near $1.685. Analysts noted that late-session selling erased most gains as short-term traders took profits.
From a technical standpoint, FIL maintains primary support at $1.625, with resistance between $1.634 and $1.685. A sustained close above $1.63 could confirm short-term consolidation, while a drop below $1.625 might expose downside risk.
Peak trading activity reached 5 million tokens, nearly 90% above the 24-hour simple moving average, confirming that market participants tested both support and resistance levels before the late pullback.
The Filecoin Foundation is preparing to host its developer summit in Buenos Aires from Nov. 13–15, an event expected to showcase advancements in decentralized storage and ecosystem adoption.
