Does ATOM need to make $10 a support level?

• ATOM’s price rose marginally in the last 24 hours. 
• Market indicators looked bearish, but social metrics were positive. 

After a week-long decline, Cosmos [ATOM] gained upward momentum in the last 24 hours. However, if the token has to display a stunning performance, it must go above a critical level.

Therefore, let’s dissect the token’s current performance to better understand whether investors should expect a bull rally from ATOM.

Which barrier does ATOM need to cross?

AMBCrypto’s examination of ATOM’s price showed that its price declined by 1.6% in the last week, according to CoinMarketCap. However, things started to change as its daily chart turned green at press time.

At the time of writing, it was trading at $9.52 with a market capitalization of over $3.5 billion.

But, as per CryptoTony, a popular crypto analyst recently posted a tweet highlighting the fact that for ATOM to continue its rally, it must go above the $10.3 mark.

AMBCrypto’s check on Hyblock Capital’s data revealed a similar possibility, as Cosmos’ liquidity registered a considerable increase near the $10.3 mark.

However, before going above that, ATOM has to cross a few more resistance levels. Notably, ATOM’s liquidation also increased near the $9.6 mark.

This is what metrics suggest

AMBCrypto’s analysis of Santiment’s data revealed that ATOM’s volume dropped last week, reflecting a lower willingness of investors to trade the token. Its Price Volatility 1w plummeted, which further reduced the chances of a price uptrend.

However, ATOM remained in demand in the derivatives market, as evidenced by its green Binance Funding Rate. Additionally, Coinglass showed that while Cosmos’ price increased slightly, its Open Interest also rose.

AMBCrypto then took a look at ATOM’s daily chart to see whether investors should expect ATOM to go above $10.3 anytime soon. ATOM’s MACD displayed an ongoing battle between the bulls and the bears.

Both its Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Money Flow Index (MFI) registered slight downticks, which looked concerning for the token’s bull rally. Nonetheless, market sentiment around ATOM remained positive.
