Filecoin Experiences Sharp Sell-Off, Potential For Price To Drop Below $5

The bearish onslaught has taken a toll on the price of Filecoin, which slipped below the $6 mark, and the bears now have a strong foothold. On the one-day chart, Filecoin is showing consolidation with a loss of 1.1%. Over the last week, the coin has depreciated by nearly 17%.

The technical outlook for Filecoin indicates bearish pressure, with a drop in demand and accumulation. If sellers push further, it will add to the bearish pressure.

Bitcoin’s struggle to stay above $30,000 has affected other altcoins, keeping them below their immediate resistance levels.

The demand must recover in the next trading sessions for FIL to jump above the $5.50 price. The decline in the market capitalization of Filecoin over the past day also indicates growing selling pressure. Broader market strength remains crucial for the altcoin’s price movement over the subsequent trading sessions.
