Momentum weakens over the week as technical signals stay deeply bearish
On the weekly (W1) timeframe, Cosmos demonstrates persistent technical weakness as it remains well beneath all major moving averages, with the nearest resistance now aligned to the MA-20 at $1.9922, while longer-term technicals reinforce the bearish trend. Momentum indicators show a strong negative bias: the MACD continues to issue a Strong Sell signal, the ADX confirms prevailing bearish conditions, and the RSI remains depressed at 40.1, with the Stochastic RSI showing overbought readings. The Commodity Channel Index is neutral, while Bull/Bear Power hints at marginal buyer support this week. Volatility reached 9.41% over the past week, indicating significant trading swings despite generally negative momentum.
Sideways bias and downside risk expected as technicals limit upside next week
Looking ahead to the next 7 days, the weekly forecast for ATOM suggests a likely range between $1.74 and $2.11, given current volatility levels (±9.5%). There is a very low probability — less than 20% — of further upward movement unless weekly momentum improves substantially, as none of the four main indicators favor a buy scenario. The base case calls for sideways action within this corridor, while risk remains skewed to the downside with a potential retest of $1.74 support. Should bullish momentum materialize unexpectedly, resistance at $2.11 would likely be challenged, but overall trend signals continue to support a bearish outlook.
Earlier, analysts noted that Cosmos remained locked in a bearish trend with little sign of immediate recovery. The current analysis reinforces this view, highlighting that despite a recent bounce, downside risks remain elevated and traders should monitor for a potential retest of the $1.74 support in the week ahead.
