Storage token Filecoin rises 6% on heavy volume.

  • Trading volume was 109% above the 30-day moving average.

Filecoin FIL$1.5921 advanced 6% in 24 hours, outpacing gains in the wider crypto market. The broader market gauge, the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index, added 4.6%.

The model showed that trading activity exceeded its 30-day average by 109%.

The price formed a series of higher lows from $1.55, with momentum decelerating into a tight range as volume dropped to below-average levels, confirming institutional accumulation during the initial spike with retail participation fading in subsequent hours, according to the model.

The tight correlation to the wider market shows the token currently behaves as a beta play on general crypto sentiment rather than responding to protocol-specific developments, the model said.

In the absence of clear fundamental drivers specific to Filecoin, technical levels at $1.55 support and $1.68 resistance became paramount as the market digested the elevated volume.

Technical Analysis:

  • Immediate support established at $1.57 from the final hour's bottoming pattern, and then at $1.55
  • 24-hour volume ran 109% above 30-day moving average, signaling elevated participation
  • Series of higher lows from $1.55 established uptrend structure
  • Immediate upside target at $1.59-$1.595 resistance zone
  • Extended target at $1.68 period high if momentum is sustained
  • Technical structure remains constructive with preserved higher-low pattern suggesting base-building for sustained advance toward reclaiming $1.60 psychological level

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

Commissioned byKuCoin

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale

Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale

The post Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:13 The meme coin market is heating up once again as traders look for the next breakout token. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to build its ecosystem and PEPE holds onto its viral roots, a new contender, Layer Brett (LBRETT), is gaining attention after raising more than $3.7 million in its presale. With a live staking system, fast-growing community, and real tech backing, some analysts are already calling it “the next PEPE.” Here’s the latest on the Shiba Inu price forecast, what’s going on with PEPE, and why Layer Brett is drawing in new investors fast. Shiba Inu price forecast: Ecosystem builds, but retail looks elsewhere Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to develop its broader ecosystem with Shibarium, the project’s Layer 2 network built to improve speed and lower gas fees. While the community remains strong, the price hasn’t followed suit lately. SHIB is currently trading around $0.00001298, and while that’s a decent jump from its earlier lows, it still falls short of triggering any major excitement across the market. The project includes additional tokens like BONE and LEASH, and also has ongoing initiatives in DeFi and NFTs. However, even with all this development, many investors feel the hype that once surrounded SHIB has shifted elsewhere, particularly toward newer, more dynamic meme coins offering better entry points and incentives. PEPE: Can it rebound or is the momentum gone? PEPE saw a parabolic rise during the last meme coin surge, catching fire on social media and delivering massive short-term gains for early adopters. However, like most meme tokens driven largely by hype, it has since cooled off. PEPE is currently trading around $0.00001076, down significantly from its peak. While the token still enjoys a loyal community, analysts believe its best days may be behind it unless…
