Storage token Filecoin rises 6% on heavy volume.

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.

Bitcoin Rainbow chart predicts BTC price for October 1, 2025

Bitcoin Rainbow chart predicts BTC price for October 1, 2025

The post Bitcoin Rainbow chart predicts BTC price for October 1, 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Bitcoin (BTC) Rainbow Chart has outlined potential price ranges for October 1, 2025, as the asset seeks to reclaim the $120,000 resistance. Throughout September, the maiden cryptocurrency has struggled to push past the $115,000 support zone. At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $115,950, up 0.15% in the past 24 hours and gaining a modest 0.5% over the past week. Bitcoin seven-day price chart. Source: Finbold Looking ahead to October 1, the Rainbow Chart projects that Bitcoin’s price could fall within a broad band of $36,628 to $409,726, depending on prevailing market sentiment. The Rainbow Chart, a long-term valuation model often used to track Bitcoin’s price cycles, is built as a logarithmic regression chart. It color-codes Bitcoin’s valuation bands, offering investors a simplified way to gauge whether the market is undervalued or overheated. Bitcoin price prediction  The lowest tier, labeled “Basically a Fire Sale,” spans from $36,628 to $47,947. Above that, the “BUY!” zone ranges from $47,947 to $64,777, while “Accumulate” covers $64,777 to $83,811. The “Still Cheap” band sets Bitcoin between $83,811 and $108,471, followed by the neutral “HODL!” zone at $108,471 to $142,332. Bitcoin Rainbow chart.

In this case, the “Is this a bubble?” range extends from $142,332 to $181,644, while “FOMO intensifies” lies between $181,644 and $233,215. On the other hand, the red zones, seen as overheated territory, start with “Sell. Seriously, SELL!” at $233,215 to $304,169 and peak with “Maximum Bubble Territory” from $304,169 to $409,726. With Bitcoin trading around $116,000 as of September 20, the Rainbow Chart suggests that by October 1, 2025, the asset will most likely fall within the “Still Cheap” or “HODL!” bands, implying a fair value between $83,811 and $142,332. This outlook indicates that despite Bitcoin’s strong gains, the model places…
