【Someone asked whether FIL is worth buying the dip. Here’s what I think】
FIL is currently priced at $1.06. Compared with its all-time high, it’s down nearly 100%. Is it undervalued? Definitely.
But does a low valuation mean it’s worth buying? That’s something we need to look at from all sides.
I’ve seen far too many people use “oversold” as a reason to buy, only to end up buying halfway down the hill. I’ll admit that the story behind Filecoin and the storage sector makes sense—there’s real demand for decentralized storage. But demand is one thing: who’s using it? How much are they using? Can it compete with AWS on cost? Those are the questions that really matter.
Honestly, I’ve run some Filecoin nodes myself and looked at the actual operating data for a few projects in its ecosystem. There is demand for storage, but it’s not yet substantial enough to support FIL’s current valuation thesis. The staking model can lock up some of the selling pressure, but if storage revenue can’t keep up with the cost of staking, miners will keep selling.
From a business perspective, what FIL needs for a real turnaround isn’t a “low price”—it’s an “explosion in genuine storage demand.” When will that happen? I can’t say. But I do know that people who buy the dip just because the price has fallen a lot often end up suffering the most.
Support is at 1.0, resistance at 1.14, and a directional move is approaching. Trading volume has picked up, which means someone is making a move. But who is it? Are they putting real money behind their belief in the storage sector, or just making a short-term bet?
What do you think? Can Filecoin’s storage demand support its current valuation?
