Filecoin (FIL)
Filecoin (FIL)/USD: TradingView
Filecoin (FIL) had a dramatic decline from $120 in September last year to gaining support at $16.91 level on January 4. Passing through the market crash in December, the coin started consolidating its position from January then onwards and reached a resistance at $26.19 on 8 February following an uptrend.
Since then, a downtrend has been observed which has led FIL to retest the support level at $16.91 once again since last month.
