Filecoin [FIL] has been under price consolidation since 20 March, oscillating between $5.345 and $5.930. Similarly, Bitcoin [BTC] traded within the $26.8K – $28.8K range.

If BTC’s sideways structure persists, FIL’s price consolidation could extend. However, FIL could take a cue from BTC if it inflicts a patterned breakout.

At the time of writing, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) fluctuated below the 50 mark since 20 March, showing limited buying pressure. Similarly, the accumulation/distribution indicator fluctuated in the same period, indicating equal buying and selling pressure that set FIL into a sideways structure. 

In addition, the 200 EMA (yellow line) formed a straight line in the past few days, suggesting a likely extension of the mid/long-term consolidation phase. As such, FIL could continue to oscillate between $5.345 and $5.930, and investors could continue to target the range boundaries for gains. 

A close below the channel’s mid-level of $5.635 could push FIL toward the lower boundary of $5.345, especially if BTC drops below $28K. But a surge above the bearish order block of $5.800 will invalidate the bearish thesis.

In an upswing scenario, FIL could retest or break above the range upper boundary of $5.930, especially if BTC reclaims the $29K level. In addition, a bullish breakout could tip bulls to target $6.5.
