Cosmos price ($ATOM) has struggled below the key EMAs, held between a rock and a hard place near the crucial pivot of $4.40. Last week saw a dead cat bounce, and gains sold out, conveying the seller’s dominance.
The Cosmos price continued to form the lower lows, trading inside a falling channel pattern. It noted correction by over 35% in the past two months.
This week, Cosmos Hub announced the release of its v19 upgrade, which will enhance the efficiency and security of Cosmos Hub. Despite the positive developments, $ATOM price failed to register a pump and struggled in the downward region.
Nonetheless, it made a triple bottom formation around the $4.40 mark and was looking for a rise. This might lead to a trap for the sellers hoping for a drop.

Crypto analyst @Dona shared his charts, which reflected an Elliott Wave Analysis. He mentioned in his chart that Cosmo’s price reached its 3rd support wave. This can be considered a spring; from here, a bounce can be seen toward the $6 mark in the short term.
Considering this, $ATOM price may gain strength and see a short-term reversal. Also, the Bollinger bands were starting to squeeze, which hints that a near-term sharp move is on the horizon.
Cosmos Price Eyes a Bounce: is the $5 Mark Breachable?
This month, Cosmos price was stuck in a significant range and persisted in consolidating below the $5 mark. Amid multiple attempts to cross the barrier, buyers failed to maintain their upper hand.
Last week, the token faced rejection from the 50-day EMA mark and pushed toward $4.40, the key support zone.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) line stayed neutral, moving close to 45 below the midline region, underlining mixed cues. A daily close above the $5 mark would confirm the bullish reversal, which might reach the upside target of the 100-day EMA barrier.
Per the Fib levels, $ATOM price was on the brink of the 23.6% support zone and inched closer to the lower Bollinger band support zone.
