ATOM/USD: technical picture
Cosmos’s coin bottomed at $1.9 on September 5, 2019, and has been moving within a clear upside trend since that time. Now the initial support is created by SMA50 daily on approach to $4.0. Once it is broken, the sell-off is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $3.7. This critical support area is created y a combination of SMA100 daily and the upside trendline from September 5 low. This area may slow down the downside correction and trigger another bullish wave; however, a sustainable move below the trendline will negate the long-term bullish scenario and create a pre-condition for an extended sell-off towards $3.5 (SMA200 daily) and psychological $3.0.
On the upside, we will need to see a sustainable move above $5.0 for the upside to gain traction and take the price to the recent high of $5.4. Once it is out of the way, the buying pressure is likely to intensify with the next focus on $6.00 and $7.20, which is the highest level since the beginning of June 2019.
