Cosmos (ATOM) Swings 5% as Market Uncertainty Weighs on Price Action

Cosmos (ATOM) experienced heightened price fluctuations over the past 24 hours, as broader macroeconomic uncertainties — including global trade tensions and shifting monetary policy — continued to impact the cryptocurrency market.

From June 30 at 15:00 UTC to July 1 at 14:00 UTC, ATOM-USD traded within a 5.1% range, marked by sustained selling pressure and an eventual dip below the psychologically important $4.00 level. While the token attempted a recovery late in the session, the bounce was limited, and key resistance levels continue to cap upward momentum.

• Support Breach: The $4.04 support level was broken with significant selling pressure during the 04:00 UTC hour, where volume spiked to 562K, causing ATOM to briefly fall below $4.00.
• Recovery Attempt: Despite increased buying volume later in the day, ATOM remains fragile, with resistance at $4.02 and short-term support at $3.98.
