$FIL : +3.3% Pump, But Is a Bearish Trap About to Unfold?

Filecoin ($FIL ) is showing short-term strength, but the bigger picture still carries bearish warning signs. A 4H divergence against BTC, combined with weak market structure, puts sellers back in focus.

Market Structure: Bearish

The 1H chart continues to show lower highs, aligned with the bearish daily and weekly trends. FIL is making a higher high against USDT while its FIL/BTC ratio forms a lower high, signaling potential relative weakness rather than confirmed strength.

Key Resistance Zone: $0.9213–$0.9345

I’m watching this zone for a potential liquidity sweep followed by a rejection. A move into resistance could create a short opportunity, but confirmation is essential.

Potential Short Setup

- Entry zone: $0.9210–$0.9320
- First target: $0.9095
- Second target: $0.8996
- Major demand: $0.8806–$0.8773
- Extended target: $0.8640 if support breaks with strong volume
- Invalidation: 1H candle close above $0.9345

What Does the Flow Say?

Open interest stands at $52.6M, up 2.2% over 24 hours. Funding is positive at +0.0100%, while the taker buy/sell ratio sits at 0.81x, indicating stronger market-selling activity in the reported data.

However, these metrics alone do not confirm a reversal. I’ll wait for a bearish engulfing candle, rejection wick, or lower-timeframe market-structure shift before considering an entry.

My Strategy: No blind shorts and no chasing green candles. If $FIL rejects resistance, downside targets come into play. If buyers secure a 1H close above $0.9345, the bearish setup is invalidated.

Patience, confirmation, and risk management come first.
