Bearish sentiment intensifies as social dominance and funding rates decline

On-chain and derivatives data for Cosmos indicated a bearish environment, as the share of ATOM-related discussions dropped according to Santiment's Social Dominance metric and the proportion of ATOM discussions fell to 0.416%. In derivatives, ATOM's funding rates turned negative at -0.0147%, and short positions grew, reflecting lower investor confidence in the Cosmos ecosystem.

Momentum stays negative as weak indicators reinforce resistance pressure

Technical momentum in ATOM remains negative. The daily chart shows price trading below the MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, with the Ichimoku Kijun at $2.0830 acting as nearby resistance. Momentum indicators reinforce the bearish picture: MACD is neutral but negative, ADX indicates weak trend conviction, and the daily RSI at 39.7 is trending lower, highlighting persistent downside pressure. Oscillators such as Stochastic RSI show oversold conditions, CCI remains firmly negative, and Bull/Bear Power also confirms strong selling intraday. Price currently trades near the bottom of today's $1.908–$1.984 range amid high intraday volatility, confirming the ongoing weakness after the open.

Downside risk prevails as volatility and oversold signals shape outlook

For the short term, ATOM is expected to remain within a volatility band of $1.730–$2.060, reflecting price action and prevailing volatility. The probability of a further decline remains very high, with upward price movement seen as unlikely unless a break above $2.08 occurs. If support at $1.73 fails, further downside risk will be exposed. Oversold conditions may result in sideways trading, but sellers are favored given the current momentum backdrop.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, views the technical and sentiment backdrop for Cosmos (ATOM) as clearly negative. He notes persistent selling, weak social metrics, and oversold technicals, with price stuck below all key moving averages. Kharitonov stresses that unless ATOM can reclaim the $2.08 resistance, further downside is probable, especially if $1.73 fails. "Until we see a decisive break above $2.08, I remain firmly defensive on ATOM and expect more weakness ahead," he says.

Previously it was reported that Cosmos (ATOM) remains under bearish pressure, trading below all major moving averages with momentum and trend indicators signaling continued seller dominance despite a weak MACD buy signal. The asset is likely to fluctuate between $1.85 and $2.28 over the next five days, with downside risk prevailing unless a breakout above $2.083 occurs.
