The highly anticipated distributed storage leader project Filecoin (FIL) has received significant positive news: with the optimization of core technology implemented, breakthroughs in ecological demand, and the warming of market sentiment, the dilemma of mining cost inversion will be quickly alleviated. The FIL price is expected to rise sharply from the current range of $2.1 to $3 in the short term, as the industry is about to welcome a valuation repair and value reassessment market.
FIL price surge: The price of FIL rose significantly by 60.79% within 24 hours, reaching $2.14, mainly due to strong buying pressure and potential short squeezing.
Market dynamics: The perpetual contract interest rate has turned into a highly negative value, leading to the liquidation of over $6.2 million in short positions, especially on Binance.
Increased interest: The open interest of FIL contracts has surged by 118%, indicating intensified market activity.
FIL bullish momentum and short interest
FIL recorded a price increase of 60.79% to $2.14 within 24 hours, with a transaction volume exceeding $1.04 billion. Despite this rebound, the 30-day price change remains at -7.44%. Capital flow shows strong buyer activity. Margin indicators show a significant increase in short positions, with the long/short ratio dropping from 2.60 to 1.41. Overall market sentiment is in a 'panic' state (index 21), while Bitcoin ETFs are showing positive inflows.
FIL short squeeze becomes the focus
News reports indicated that the price of FIL dramatically rose by 61.2% to $2.184, mainly due to a large-scale short squeeze. Major exchanges, including Binance, have seen perpetual contract rates turn highly negative (-1.005%), indicating aggressive short positions. This resulted in $6.2 million in liquidations, of which $4.02 million came from short orders. The storage sector, including FIL, AR, and STORJ, recorded significant gains, indicating a resurgence of investor interest in decentralized storage solutions.
1. Triple positive resonance, mining ecology welcomes a 'repair window period'
1. Technical optimization landing, mining efficiency significantly improved
According to the latest announcement from the Filecoin core development team, the network is about to complete the V21 upgrade, focusing on optimizing computational power packaging efficiency and the GAS fee mechanism. After the upgrade, the packaging time for miners' single T computational power will be shortened by 30%, and GAS fees will decrease by 40%-50%, directly reducing operating costs; at the same time, the storage order matching algorithm will be iterated, improving the efficiency of connecting real data storage needs. In addition to block rewards, the proportion of storage lease income for miners will gradually increase, making the income structure healthier. According to the latest estimates, after the upgrade, the daily output of a 100T mining machine is expected to rise from 0.32 FIL to 0.5 FIL, resulting in a direct increase of 56% in revenue.
2. Demand-side breakthrough, enterprise-level storage orders accelerating
Recently, the Filecoin ecosystem has reached strategic cooperation with multiple Web 3.0 applications and data service providers, with the first batch of enterprise-level real storage orders in the tens of millions officially landing. According to industry disclosures, the proportion of real storage data in the ecosystem has increased from less than 10% to 25%, and it is still growing rapidly. With the continued influx of real demand, the network's computational power digestion speed is accelerating, the dilution effect of block rewards is alleviating, and miners' long-term revenue certainty has significantly increased, leading to a comprehensive improvement in market expectations for FIL's value.
3. Market sentiment warms up, capital accelerates backflow layout
Against the backdrop of overall stabilization and recovery in the cryptocurrency market, the distributed storage track has become a focus of investment. Data shows that in the past three trading days, the FIL contract open interest has increased by 200%, with net inflows of over 100 million USD, and the technical indicators show a 'bottom volume breakout' pattern. At the same time, small and medium miners who previously shut down due to cost inversion have started to restart their mining machines, leading miners are accelerating their computational power layout, and the supply-demand relationship in the market is gradually improving, providing strong support for the rise in FIL prices.
2. Cost-revenue model reversal, $3 becomes a key short-term target
With technological upgrades and demand surges, the cost-revenue model of Filecoin mining has undergone a fundamental reversal. Based on an output of 0.5 FIL per day for a 100T mining machine after the upgrade and current electricity costs of $1.33-$1.71, when the price of FIL reaches $2, daily revenue can cover electricity costs; if the price rises to $3, daily revenue will reach $1.5. Adding storage lease income, miners' net daily income is expected to exceed $0.8, significantly shortening the payback period to a reasonable range.
Industry institutions are generally optimistic about the short-term trend of FIL, believing that $3 is not only the previous miners' 'psychological profit and loss line', but also a key node for ecological value restoration. With the continuous release of positive news and capital drive, FIL is expected to quickly break through this threshold, starting a new round of valuation repair.
3. Long-term value anchored in real storage, the industry enters a stage of high-quality development
This positive news is not a short-term speculation, but a key signal of the Filecoin ecosystem's transformation from 'computational power competition' to 'value competition'. As real storage demand continues to materialize, ecological value will gradually be bound with storage scale and application scenario depth, rather than relying solely on block rewards. In the long term, Filecoin, as the core infrastructure of the distributed storage track, is expected to play a core role in areas such as Web 3.0, the metaverse, and data rights confirmation, with its value growth space continuously opening up as the ecosystem matures.
Market participants remind that the current positive news in the Filecoin ecosystem is being released in concentration, with significant short-term price elasticity. It is recommended to pay attention to the progress of technological upgrades and the growth data of real storage orders, seizing investment opportunities brought by industry transformation.
