Filecoin [FIL] has seen double-digit appreciation in the past few weeks. In the past seven and 30 days, the token rallied by 50%. The major driving factor for the recent uptrend was a planned expansion to include a Filecoin virtual machine (FEVM).
However, FIL tanked by over 10% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. The correction followed a sharp rejection of Bitcoin [BTC] at the $25K price level amidst market uncertainty and a possible hawkish stance by the Fed if inflation persists.

Notably, FIL tanked by 17% after a price rejection at $9.181. But $7.708 support was steady and allowed bulls to launch a recovery but faced an obstacle by the time of writing.
FIL could drop to the 23.60% Fib level of $7.904, $7.708, or $7.510, especially if BTC falls below $24.20K. Short-term bears can use these levels as short-selling targets. A stop loss can be placed above the 50% Fib level of $8.345.

On the other hand, near-term bulls could target the overhead resistance level of $9.181 if FIL closes above the 50% Fib level. But they must deal with the hurdles at 61.8% and 78.6% Fib levels. The upswing could be accelerated if BTC retests the $25K level.
