Filecoin Declines 7%, Breaking Below $1.43 Support

• FIL slumped from $1.48 to $1.38, breaking key support with an 85% volume spike
• The technical breakdown confirms a trend reversal from the December highs near $1.55.

Filecoin FIL$1.3639 fell 7.3% in the past 24 hours, dropping from $1.48 to $1.38 as decentralized physical infrastructure tokens spearheaded a sector-wide liquidation.

The storage protocol established a clear downtrend with consecutive lower highs from its Dec. 10 peak at $1.55, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model.

The model showed that trading volume exploded to 10.6 million tokens during the breakdown.

The selloff gained momentum after FIL failed to reclaim resistance at $1.52.

Volume spiked 85% above average when price shattered the critical $1.43 support level, the model said.

Price stabilized only near session lows around $1.37, suggesting temporary exhaustion, according to the model.

DePIN tokens led broader crypto weakness while Bitcoin slipped below $91,000. The broader market gauge, the CoinDesk 20 index, was 3.4% lower at publication time. Capital rotated away from infrastructure plays as risk-off sentiment gripped digital asset markets.

Technical Analysis:

• Critical floor at $1.37 session low; resistance at $1.39 rejection zone and broken $1.43 support
• 85% volume surge confirmed institutional selling during support break; 6x spike during failed reversal signals distribution
• Next resistance at $1.43 former support; downside targets $1.30-1.35 range if current floor breaks
