【Sentiment index drops to 59, while FIL keeps rising—whose money are you making in this rally?】
Let’s start with a harsh reality.
FIL is up 8.5% this week. Sounds good, right? But the Fear and Greed Index (FNG) has fallen from a weekly average of 67 to 59, and the trend is downward. What does it mean when you put these two figures together?
It means the market just isn’t enthusiastic.
The price is up, but retail investors haven’t joined in. This rally looks more like a one-man show by whales and market makers, testing how much selling pressure they can shake out at this level.
I went through exactly the same thing when I was in the trading business in 1998. A supplier quotes you a price, and before you’ve even negotiated, they offer to lower it—that’s when you know they’re in a hurry.
That’s where FIL is right now.
Let’s get down to the practical question: can the storage sector really take off?
To be honest, I’ve looked at plenty of storage projects over the past few years, and few have achieved real commercial adoption. Filecoin’s thesis makes sense: there is a real market for decentralized storage. But the problems are cost and efficiency. How many times has AWS S3 cut its prices? What exactly is decentralized storage’s competitive edge? That’s the key question.
If demand for storage is real, then even at a low valuation, FIL has a reason to hold its ground. If it’s just hype around a concept, then this price level is a trap.
Watch two levels next week: 1.04 and 1.12. If it breaks below 1.04, don’t try to catch a falling knife. If it breaks above 1.12, then consider following the move. Trading volume is key: a breakout on rising volume has potential; a rally on declining volume is just a sham.
Has my view changed this week?
I previously thought sentiment had bottomed out. I’ve changed my mind—low sentiment doesn’t mean we’ve hit bottom; it could go even lower. But if 1.04 holds, I’m willing to admit I was wrong.
One last question: do you think the storage sector’s business model makes sense, or do you just want to buy the dip because the price has fallen so much?
