According to Coinglass data, the Long vs Shorts for Cosmos [ATOM] was skewed slightly in favor of the longs on popular exchanges such as Binance, FTX, and Okex over the past 24 hours. For the same time period, Bitcoin [BTC] was more neutral and Ethereum [ETH] saw a slight advantage to the short positions in terms of volume.

In the days that followed, the price has stagnated just below the belt of resistance at $16.6 before taking a sharp turn to the south. The Fibonacci retracement levels (yellow) showed strong support at $13.7 and $14.36 for the native token of Cosmos.
