ATOM Rises 5% Before Bearish Head-and-Shoulders Emerges
Cryptocurrency markets remain influenced by global events as Circle, the issuer of USDC, gears up for its NYSE listing. In response to these developments, ATOM was seen rising 5%, moving from $4.307 to $4.532, only to later form a head-and-shoulders pattern that suggests a reversal may be on the horizon.

Circle's move to increase its share count and price range indicates strong trust in stablecoin assets, even amidst regulatory uncertainties. Industry representatives are urging for a focused discussion on stablecoin regulations, hoping to steer clear of distraction from less crucial matters. This backdrop has led to mixed reactions within the cryptocurrency community.

During a critical trading window from 20:00 to 01:00, ATOM-USD showed bullish activity with significant upward momentum, breaking through resistance levels and establishing support around $4.43-$4.44. However, the emergence of the head-and-shoulders pattern—with diminished trading volume on rebounds—hints at weakening bullish trends. Support at $4.44 has been challenged frequently, raising concerns about possible further declines if the bearish trend continues.

Investors should consider these technical signals carefully as they gauge potential trading strategies.
