Filecoin Drops Over 10% Amid Broad Crypto Sell-Off

Filecoin experienced a sharp decline over the past 24 hours, falling more than 10% to $1.46. The move comes as the broader cryptocurrency market also weakened, with the CoinDesk 20 Index down nearly 7%.

According to CoinDesk Research’s technical model, Filecoin slipped from $1.62, forming a $0.16 intraday range with 11% volatility. Trading volume jumped 32.7% above the seven-day average, reflecting significant selling pressure.

Peak liquidation occurred around midnight UTC, with roughly 20 million in volume—more than four times the 24-hour simple moving average. The token broke below $1.58 support, while resistance formed near $1.47. Consecutive lower highs from the $1.6385 peak reinforced the downward trend, with capitulation observed near $1.46.

Current indicators suggest that selling pressure may be easing, hinting at potential short-term stabilization around $1.46. Analysts note that maintaining $1.47 is critical to prevent further downside, while reclaiming $1.58 is essential for a broader recovery. If support fails, Filecoin could face further downside toward $1.40.
