Cosmos (ATOM) Gains Momentum with Interchain Security and Roadmap Expansion
Cosmos ( ATOM ) has been showing strong growth recently, driven by its new 2024 roadmap and the upcoming Interchain Security upgrade. Over the past week, ATOM has seen a 14% increase, with its price now around $7.40, boosted by increased trading volume and bullish sentiment. The project’s Interchain Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, which facilitates interoperability between blockchains, has been a key factor in Cosmos’ recent momentum, processing $29 billion across 100 chains over the past 12 months​( AMBCrypto )​( Cointelegraph ).
Technical Analysis Technically, ATOM is showing signs of bullish activity. It’s currently trading above key moving averages, including the 50-day exponential moving average , which often indicates a potential uptrend. Resistance levels at $17.20 and $25.20 are in focus if the bullish trend continues, while support levels are pegged at $6.50 and $3.10​( TradingView ). The introduction of interchain security, allowing Cosmos Hub validators to secure multiple blockchains, is expected to increase staking rewards and provide long-term value for ATOM holders​( Blockworks ).
