The cryptocurrency market continues to build on its recent strength, with Ethereum (ETH) leading the charge. ETH has climbed more than 58% over the past month and is now trading above the $2,600 mark — its highest level in months. This resurgence is also helping to lift sentiment across major altcoins, including Filecoin (FIL).

FIL is currently showing monthly gains of over 24%. More importantly, a well-known harmonic pattern forming on its chart suggests that further upside may be on the horizon.

Harmonic Pattern Signals More Upside

On the daily timeframe, $FIL is forming a Bearish Butterfly harmonic pattern — a technical setup that identifies high-probability reversal zones once the final leg, known as CD, completes. Until that point, the pattern typically drives prices upward with strong bullish momentum.

The pattern began when FIL was rejected near $3.21 on March 26, which marked the X point. From there, the price declined nearly 33%, bottoming out at approximately $2.11 on April 7, forming the A point.

Following this, the AB leg retraced about 74.3% of the XA leg, aligning well with the ideal Fibonacci boundaries of the Bearish Butterfly structure. The BC leg then pulled back around 54.3% of AB, stabilizing near the $2.48 C bottom. This stabilization signaled the return of bullish pressure.

Now, the CD leg is in full motion, and momentum is clearly favoring the bulls. The projected target for point D is around $3.88, which matches the 1.618 Fibonacci extension of the XA leg. This level is a classic target in harmonic trading strategies and is seen as a likely destination for buyers — but also a potential area where price could face sharp resistance.

What’s Next for FIL?

If the harmonic pattern continues to unfold as expected, FIL could climb as high as $3.88, representing an approximate 22% upside from the current level around $3.17.

Support is currently found at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level near $2.79, which is helping to maintain the bullish trajectory. In the near term, the $3.21 level may pose some resistance, as it aligns with the B point and past rejection zone.

However, the broader altcoin rally — particularly Ethereum’s ongoing strength — will play a crucial role in determining whether FIL can sustain this trajectory toward the D point.
