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.
