Cosmos (ATOM) was trading higher on Tuesday, as prices earlier in the day reached a multi-week high.

ATOM Set To Breach $10 Level
Following recent increases, ATOM may be poised to once again surpass $10 as bullish pressure builds. Although recent trend has been on the rise, after Tuesday’s peak, gains slowed and some investors chose to leave rather than pursue more gains.
This concern arose when prices reached a point of resistance at $9.10, which has not been breached for roughly four weeks.
The price charts are favorable for bullish market participants. The RSI supported their positive outlook, as it was far over 50 and exhibited an uptrend during the last seven days.

Meanwhile, bullish ATOM price forecasts are unlikely to be realized so long as the Bitcoin price remains in a decline.
As soon as the BTC price stabilizes, cryptocurrencies may experience a relief rally. Nonetheless, if Bitcoin falls to new lows, the situation for altcoins such as ATOM could become dire.
