FIL Slides 7% as Market Selling Intensifies

Filecoin’s native token (FIL) tumbled from $2.39 to $2.23 over the past 24 hours, marking a nearly 7% decline, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model. The token experienced heightened volatility, with a $0.19 intraday range representing roughly 7.9% swings.

Selling dominated at the $2.41 resistance level, pushing trading volume to 5.92 million FIL — well above the 3.42 million daily average. Buyers defended the $2.23 support floor, with volume rising above 4.8 million, signaling potential seller exhaustion and the formation of a short-term base.

CoinDesk’s model noted classic capitulation patterns, where aggressive sell-offs are followed by relief bounces, suggesting FIL may be stabilizing above its key $2.23 floor.

FIL was last down about 5.1%, trading near $2.26. The broader cryptocurrency market also retreated, with the CoinDesk 20 Index down 3.6%.
