Since the end of March, Filecoin [FIL] has been consolidating in a narrow range of $5.345 – $6.000. The range trading followed Bitcoin’s [BTC] lead. BTC has been consolidating between $26.8k and $28.8k.
BTC’s failure to break above $30k has attracted some short pullbacks across several altcoins, FIL included. This shows traders were not vacating their positions as they expected an upswing.

On the daily chart, the 200-day MA (Moving Average) and 20-day EMA (exponential moving average) were moving parallel and chalked straight lines – suggesting a likely extended consolidation in the short and mid-term.
In addition, the RSI fluctuated near the equilibrium level, as did the OBV (On Balance Volume). Moreover, the Average Directional Index (ADX) declined further, reinforcing a likely retracement or consolidation.
As such, FIL could attempt to retest the range lower boundary of $5.345 if sellers clear the hurdles at the mid-level of $5.657 and the ascending trendline (white). A further drop below the parallel channel (orange) could slow at the 200-day MA (blue line).
But a bullish breakout above $6.000 may occur if BTC reclaims $29k and surges into the $30k zone. The immediate bullish targets for such an upswing are $6.50 and $7.26.
