Filecoin Slips Below Key Support as Market Weakness Weighs

Filecoin (FIL) faced notable selling pressure over the last 24 hours, dropping 4.6% to around $2.36 and breaching critical support at the $2.38 level, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis. The move came amid broader market weakness, with the CoinDesk 20 index falling 3.6%.

FIL’s price action was marked by sharp volatility, with a trading range exceeding 6%. Volume surged to 7.54 million, indicating potential institutional selling as the token failed to hold key technical levels. A descending channel emerged during the final hour of the session, reinforcing bearish momentum.

Despite the downtrend, FIL showed signs of intraday recovery, briefly bouncing to $2.35 on renewed buying interest. Trade volume spiked to 91,211 tokens in a one-minute window, suggesting dip buyers are active at lower levels.

In a separate development, AI platform SingularityNET announced it will use Filecoin’s Lighthouse protocol to store metadata, highlighting ongoing ecosystem integration despite recent price weakness.
