• Volume surged 185% above average during the key breakdown below $1.30 support.

Filecoin FIL$1.2824 fell 4.2% to $1.28 on Tuesday amid significant volatility as traders drove sharp reversals during a broader market decline, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model.

The model showed that the decentralized storage token established a bearish price trend with $0.08 range representing 6.3% volatility.

Volume was 12.75% above the seven-day average, according to the model. The peak of 11.7 million tokens was 85% above the 24-hour average of 2.81 million.

The spike confirmed the token's breakdown below the psychological $1.30 support price, the model said.

Wider crypto markets also fell. The CoinDesk 20 index was 3.7% lower at publication time.

Technical Analysis:

• Primary support sits at $1.278 with resistance capping advances near $1.285, creating a tight $0.007 trading range
• The 185% volume surge during $1.30 breakdown confirmed institutional participation while normalized late-session activity suggests a consolidation phase, according to the model.
• Classic support-resistance dynamics emerged with swift capitulation followed by an immediate recovery bounce indicating buyer interest at lower levels
• Near-term range bound between $1.278-$1.285 with broader 24-hour bearish trend intact until reclaim of $1.30 psychological level
