Filecoin (FIL) has been the biggest gainer during the current market rally. Throughout February, FIL delivered impressive performance, driven by strong momentum and partnerships with leading blockchains.
This performance has analysts and major cryptocurrency insiders predicting potential strength for the decentralized storage network’s native token.
Should Filecoin Investors Be Prepared for a Bull Market?
Crypto Breakout, a pseudonymous analyst and trader, highlighted that FIL broke a decisive resistance level in three days, signaling that “the bulls are coming back with force.” The chart shared by the analyst shows the bearish pattern of FIL price after 2022.
Two years ago, the token was trading at $11, as you can see in the chart below, and has since faced a downward trend in the months since, losing around 70% of the token’s value. By February 2023, the token recovered and broke the $9 resistance level before repeating a similar downward trend.

Since 2023, the price has remained well below this level, breaking the $8 support zone only once in early 2024. Throughout January, FIL had a tumultuous performance, with the price falling approximately 40%.
Prices led the cryptocurrency market upward and, as the analyst highlighted, it is gaining positive momentum. The three-day period shows that FIL is following an upward trend that led the token to break the important $8 support zone this Friday.
As the post states, this breakout to the downside could signal “the beginning of a huge bull rally” for FIL and investors “should be prepared for some interesting moves ahead.”
Renowned cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez made a similar prediction. Martinez earlier this week highlighted Filecoin moves within a parallel channel on the 3-day chart. He suggested that the token’s price could surge to $25.5 if it successfully breaks the $8.50 barrier.
Artur Hayes predicts $100 as FIL continues to rise.
