Opening Summary
Filecoin (FILFDUSD) opened the 24-hour period at 2.309 on 2025-08-26 12:00 ET and reached a high of 2.362 before closing at 2.309 on 2025-08-27 12:00 ET. The low was 2.301. Total volume for the session was 119,484.13, with a notional turnover of approximately $274,942.
Structure & Formations
Key resistance levels for Filecoin emerged between 2.34 and 2.36 during the early morning, with the price forming a bearish harami and a long upper shadow candle at 2.362. Below that, strong support formed at 2.31–2.315, where a bullish engulfing pattern appeared as buying pressure re-entered. A key psychological level at 2.30 appears to be holding, with price consolidating above that after a mid-night dip.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages converged near 2.31–2.32, suggesting a potential zone for a pullback or retest. Daily data shows the 50-period MA at 2.32 and the 100-period at 2.34, aligning with resistance clusters. The 200-period MA sits slightly higher at 2.35, reinforcing the bearish bias over the past week.
MACD & RSI
The MACD line crossed below the signal line around 03:00 ET, signaling bearish momentum. RSI dropped into oversold territory below 30 during the morning selloff, indicating potential for a short-term bounce. However, the divergence between price and RSI near 2.31–2.32 suggests weak follow-through from buyers.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded between 08:00 and 12:00 ET as Bollinger Bands widened from a narrow 2.30–2.32 range to 2.30–2.35. The price closed near the middle band (2.317), suggesting a potential range-bound consolidation phase ahead. A break below the lower band may test 2.30, while a move above the upper band could trigger a short-term rebound.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked during the selloff from 2.362 to 2.301, peaking at over 4,000 units per candle. Turnover rose in tandem, but price failed to follow through on the morning’s bearish move, creating a divergence at 2.31–2.32. This suggests sellers may be exhausting their pressure.
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci retracements drawn from the recent 15-minute high at 2.362 to the low at 2.301 identified key levels: 38.2% at 2.338 and 61.8% at 2.32. The price currently trades near 2.31, which corresponds to a 78.6% retracement level and appears to be a critical support area.
Outlook
Filecoin may test the 2.30–2.31 support zone in the short term, with a potential bounce expected if bulls re-enter near that level. A break below would increase the risk of a test at 2.29–2.30. Traders should watch for a retest of the 2.34–2.35 resistance range for signs of bear exhaustion or renewed bullish momentum.
Risk caveat: Volatility remains elevated, and sharp pullbacks or false breakouts are likely given the current consolidation phase.
