Cosmos (ATOM) Reaches Make-or-Break Level as Long-Term Downtrend Persists

Cosmos (ATOM) has been in a critical technical phase as of Thursday, January 29. This is because price action has been testing the upper limit of a long-term descending channel in the latest price movement.

According to crypto analyst Crypto Pulse, this resistance has been a major barrier to several bullish moves in the past few months.

The focus now is whether the token can hold up above the channel or fall back inside it. If it fails to hold up above resistance, it would only add to the overall bearish view, especially with momentum in the Layer-1 altcoin space remaining weak.

However, if the rejection continues and the price declines from this level and goes below the channel resistance, the price is likely to fall towards the lower end of the channel.

The price level of $1.50 is a major support level because it has been a major support level in the past during declines. A move towards that level would likely signal renewed weakness rather than a trend reversal.
