ATOM Climbs to Two-Month High Amid Altcoin Sector Rotation
Cosmos’ ATOM token is gaining ground as renewed optimism across the altcoin market fuels a broader sector rally. ATOM surged above $5.00 for the first time in two months, marking a decisive move supported by strong trading volume and continued investor interest in cross-chain infrastructure projects.
The token held its ground at the $4.69 support level before pushing higher, although it faced selling pressure near the $5.15 resistance zone, prompting profit-taking late Thursday.
Momentum is building around the Cosmos ecosystem as capital rotates into alternative blockchain platforms amid what traders are increasingly calling an “altcoin season.” Interoperability tokens like ATOM are drawing attention from both institutional and retail participants seeking exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
As the weekend approaches — typically a lower liquidity period — traders are watching whether ATOM can maintain its gains. A sustained hold above $4.69 could position the token for further upside in the coming sessions.
