Renewed derivatives inflows as large holders re-enter quiet market

Recent trading has seen increased demand in the derivatives market driven by activity from large wallet investors, as indicated by a rise in futures open interest and larger average order sizes. This renewed interest is reflected in both whale and spot buyer participation, following a previously unsettled market. No recent regulatory, institutional, or Cosmos ecosystem updates were reported during the review period.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, views Cosmos (ATOM) as remaining under firm bearish pressure. He notes that the asset is positioned well below all key moving averages with no supportive fundamental or regulatory developments. Kharitonov highlights persistent selling as confirmed by multiple momentum and sentiment indicators. He remains wary of the latest uptick in derivatives interest, viewing it as insufficient to offset prevailing weakness. "The technical setup is decisively bearish — rallies are likely to be sold and any break below $2.2780 could trigger much deeper declines," warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, acknowledges the recent surge in spot and derivatives market activity as a promising sign for future volatility. While the short-term structure is weak, he sees whale interest and rising open interest as increasing the probability of a reversal. Karapetjanc maintains that market cycles often reset with bursts of buying from strong hands, and the lack of regulatory shocks keeps opportunities open. "With renewed participation and multiple setups forming, Cosmos could recover quickly if buyers reclaim $2.8160," asserts .

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, frames the current action as a probable consolidation phase above crucial $2.2780 support. He points out that intraday oscillators signal instability and tactical traders could monitor for contrarian entry points near oversold levels. Mehta observes that directional momentum favors bears for now. "A potential breakout above $2.8160 would invalidate immediate downside risk, but protecting capital here is key," says .

Resistance dominates as bearish signals and oversold zones intersect

The nearest dynamic support for ATOM is near the daily low at $2.506, while resistance aligns to the Ichimoku Kijun around $2.8160. Daily momentum remains bearish, with active selling pressure confirmed by MACD and ADX indicators. The Stoch RSI and select lower timeframes show oversold or nearly oversold readings, though the D1 RSI stays below neutral and CCI is flat. BBP suggests minor buyer activity, but sellers dominate intraday dynamics, and a gap down at the open emphasizes persistent selling pressure. Some oscillators like the HMA and Ichimoku indicate brief technical buy signals, but overall momentum and price action confirm a bearish intraday outlook, with divergence signaling instability.

Previously it was noted that Cosmos strengthened its ecosystem leadership by appointing Jason Zhao, a blockchain and AI specialist, to guide innovation and AI strategy. Last time we reported that sellers retain control and the prevailing downtrend.
