Filecoin (FIL) gained nearly 2% in the past 24 hours after strongly defending support at the $2.38 level, a move backed by a significant surge in trading volume and broader market strength.
FIL fluctuated between $2.38 and $2.55 during the session—a 6.7% range—with the sharpest activity recorded around 19:00 UTC on July 30. At that time, trading volume surged to 13.11 million FIL, more than four times the daily average of 2.29 million, as bulls quickly stepped in to defend the lower bound.
The bounce occurred as broader crypto sentiment turned positive, with the CoinDesk 20 Index rising 1.7% during the same period. FIL’s price rebounded to $2.55 before consolidating near $2.505 into the session close.
Investor focus also turned to Filecoin’s upcoming Orbit community event, where the Foundation is expected to announce updates to its ambassador program and other ecosystem roles.
