Retracement Looming For ATOM After Near 10% 24 Hour Gain?

The price of Cosmos (ATOM) is one of the biggest risers in the last 24 hours as the rest of the crypto market seems to still be following suit. This is according to the crypto market tracker, CoinMarketCap.

Ranked number 27 on CoinMarketCap’s list of the largest cryptocurrency projects by market cap, ATOM’s market cap currently stands at $3,361,999,744. The daily trading volume of ATOM is up as well by an astonishing 36.97%, with its collective 24 hour trading volume adding up to $426,355,934.

ATOM’s price has also strengthened against Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) by around 7.09% and 7.39% respectively at the time of writing. As things stand, ATOM is worth approximately 0.0003924 BTC and 0.005762 ETH.   

ATOM is one of the handful of crypto projects on CoinMarketCap’s list that have seen a price gain in the last 24 hours. Its price has risen by around 9.50% at the time of writing. The price of ATOM now stands at $11.74. However, ATOM is still down over the last 7 days by 21.71%.

Looking at the 4 hour chart for ATOM/USDT, a bearish signal has been flagged as the 8 EMA crosses over the 20 EMA. If the 8 EMA is able to maintain its position above the 20 EMA then we could see the price of ATOM continue to rise.

The histogram is also positive at the moment. However, the gradient of the histogram does seem to be sloping negative. Given the prior two price rises from ATOM’s latest bottom and the small retracement that followed, it’s reasonable to believe that there may be another retracement coming soon for the coin when looking at just the 4 hour chart.
