Filecoin drops 7.26% today to $1.09

Highlights

Filecoin introduced an on-chain proof-of-data-presence system to verify data integrity and increase reliability for decentralized storage users.
This upgrade aims to make stored data more transparent and verifiable, establishing a framework for wider adoption of the Filecoin platform.
FIL/USD trades under short- and medium-term moving averages, down 7.26% to $1.0903, with indicators confirming strong selling pressure and a likely range of $1.0253199 to $1.1552801 in coming days.

On-chain upgrade boosts transparency but price weighs under selling

Filecoin’s proof-of-data-presence (PDP) system went live on its mainnet, introducing an on-chain mechanism to verify the integrity of stored data and address demands for enhanced reliability, according to Tokenpost. This upgrade is designed to increase user trust by making decentralized file storage more transparent and verifiable, as noted by Coinfomania. The enhancement aims to lay the foundation for broader adoption of Filecoin’s storage platform, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Bearish signals strengthen as FIL hovers below short-term resistance

On the technical front, FIL is trading below the MA-20 at $1.13 and the MA-50 at $1.14 on the H1 chart, while still holding above the longer-term MA-200 at $0.86. The Ichimoku Kijun level at $1.14 marks immediate resistance. Momentum indicators remain pointed lower, with both MACD and RSI registering sell signals, and the ADX showing a neutral stance. Stochastic RSI and CCI indicate oversold conditions, and bearish dominance is confirmed by both Bull/Bear Power and the Awesome Oscillator.

Downside risks persist given narrow reversal prospects for FIL

Looking ahead, FIL/USD is expected to move within the $1.03 to $1.15 volatility band over the coming days. There is a very high likelihood of continued downside, with only a very low probability of a reversal or upside breakout. A breakout above $1.14 (the Kijun resistance) would be required to shift momentum in favor of buyers, while a decline below $1.03 would open further downside risk.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that Filecoin’s recent technological upgrades have failed to lift market sentiment as FIL remains pressured below key moving averages. He sees technical signals skewed to the downside, with oversold readings and little indication of sustained buying interest. Despite the mainnet launch of the PDP system to boost user trust, the market’s reaction stays skeptical. "Unless FIL reclaims the $1.14 level, I do not see a reason to turn constructive here."

Earlier, analysts noted that Filecoin was likely to consolidate as supply overhang waned and long-term technical structure remained constructive, despite mixed short-term signals. The recent decline below key moving averages and continued bearish momentum highlight downside risks, making $1.03 an important level for traders to monitor in the near term.
