Filecoin (FIL) is currently trading at $1.27, down 2.13% over the past 24 hours, while trading volume has increased 11.85% to $79.58 million, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Over the last week, FIL has declined by 18.09%, reflecting sustained bearish sentiment in the broader crypto market. Traders are closely watching the $1.20 support zone, which has historically prevented further declines and may determine the token’s near-term trajectory.

Filecoin Price Retesting Key Support Level

Crypto analyst Jonathan Carter notes that Filecoin is retesting the lower boundary of a long-term descending channel visible on the three-day chart.

This channel, which has dominated FIL price action since early 2025, shows a series of lower highs and lower lows. Recent volume data near the support zone suggests early accumulation, indicating that buyers may be stepping in.

If the support level holds and bullish confirmation occurs, such as strong green candles or sustained volume expansion, Carter identifies potential upside targets at $2.10, $3.00, $4.00, $5.20, $6.75, and ultimately $10.00.

These projections align with previous resistance levels, Fibonacci extensions, and midline channel targets. However, failure to defend support could trigger further declines, especially if negative sentiment spreads across the decentralized infrastructure (DePIN) sector.

Government Data to Move to Decentralized Storage

Beyond technical factors, Filecoin has gained a boost from a new public-sector initiative. The Filecoin Foundation and the Government of Bermuda announced a collaboration to upload publicly available government data to Filecoin’s decentralized storage network. 

The project, led by Bermuda’s Ministry for the Cabinet Office and Digital Innovation, is part of the Internet Archive’s Democracy’s Library project.

The partnership aims to enhance transparency, resilience, and long-term verifiability of public records by distributing data across a global network instead of centralized servers. Initial datasets include employment and labor publications, with additional records to be added in future phases. 

Officials emphasized that decentralized storage mitigates single points of failure, reducing risks from outages or cyberattacks. Bermuda Premier David Burt noted that the initiative aligns with the country’s commitment to responsible innovation and transparent governance.
