Cosmos Is Stuck in a No-Trade Zone

Cosmos’ ATOM token continues to consolidate with out offering any clear indicators of the place it should head subsequent. 

Cosmos Stays Stagnant

Cosmos could have generated a big quantity of hype this yr, however ATOM remains to be buying and selling sideways.

The native token for the so-called “Web of Blockchains” has seen its worth endure a squeeze after a protracted stagnation interval, signaling {that a} spike in volatility is underway. 

Cosmos has been touted as some of the promising ecosystems throughout the crypto group in current months, with rising curiosity in initiatives like JUNO and Osmosis. Nevertheless, because the starting of the yr, ATOM has been caught inside a $5 worth vary. From a technical perspective, it seems that the 100-day transferring common at $26 on the three-day chart has been performing as assist, whereas the 50-day transferring common at $31 serves as resistance. 

So long as the token continues buying and selling in between each ranges, ATOM appears caught in a no-trade zone. Nevertheless, a decisive three-day candlestick shut outdoors the 100-day and 50-day transferring common ought to decide the place its worth will head subsequent. 

Zooming out on the three-day chart reveals that ATOM’s governing sample is a parallel channel that developed in early September 2021. This technical formation supplies potential targets for the place ATOM might commerce after breaking out of the no-trade zone. 

A bullish impulse that sends Cosmos above $31 might have the energy to see it rise in direction of the channel’s higher trendline at $44. But when promote orders enhance and the $26 stage is misplaced as assist, it might dive to the channel’s decrease boundary at $21. 

Given the paradox that ATOM presently presents, it’s seemingly that many merchants will stay on the sidelines, ready for affirmation earlier than coming into any lengthy or brief positions.
