edged up 0.4% in the past 24 hours, lagging behind broader crypto markets, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model.

The decentralized storage token initially gained nearly 2% before reversing, as the CoinDesk 20 Index advanced 1.7% over the same period. FIL traded within a narrow $0.06 range, forming higher lows from its $1.595 open before encountering resistance near $1.685.

Filecoin is set to host its developer summit in Buenos Aires from Nov. 13–15, according to a post on X, an event that could draw renewed attention to the project’s ecosystem.
