FIL consolidated with an $0.11 range representing 7.5% of the token's value, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model.
The critical development emerged from Filecoin's relative weakness against broader crypto markets, the model said.
The volume surge proved particularly significant, with activity breaching thresholds that typically accompany larger price moves.
The disconnect between elevated volume and modest gains often signals distribution patterns, the model showed, where sellers meet increased demand at current levels, creating equilibrium between competing forces.
