Cosmos price ready to move higher

Cosmos price crashed 33% between December 26 and January 3, creating the $8.35 to $12.60 range. Since January 3, ATOM has mostly stayed below this range’s midpoint, denoting a bearish dominance. 

But the Cosmos price rallied 16% in the last six days has overcome a critical hurdle at $9.83 and set up a higher high, suggesting a potential reversal. Therefore, investors should expect ATOM to continue trending higher in the coming days.

A caveat to this bullish outlook is the potential buying opportunity that Cosmos price might provide come Monday. The start of the week always causes a minor pullback, which will be a key point to enter the markets, hoping for a bullish week. 

Therefore, a retest of the $9.83 support level should likely see a lot of buying pressure that results in a recovery rally to the next critical resistance levels at $10.44 and $10.94. This move would constitute a 10% gain for traders.

On the contrary, if Cosmos price fails to hold above the $9.83 support level, it would indicate weakness for bulls. If the selling pressure remains high, resulting in a twelve-hour candlestick close below $9.45, it will create a lower low and will invalidate the bullish thesis.

Such a development could see Cosmos price potentially revisit the $8.86 foothold, roughly 6.30% away.
