Markets Fight For Support While Cosmos Outperforms Again

The markets fight for strong support since a few days ago the vast majority of the cryptocurrencies tested below the critical technical support level as we read in the previous altcoin news.

Bitcoin moved past the $7,000 barrier as a bearish triangle breakout is still hovering around the BTC/USD pair and the short-term technical. The benchmark cryptocurrency posted a very short recovery since. Litecoin, on the other hand, moved in the range of a touching distance since the November 24 low while Ethereum started going towards the $142.00 level and traded about 4.5 percent lower on a monthly basis.

While the markets fight for a better position, Cosmos is outperforming most of the coins on the market alongside Tezos since the ATOM/USD pair added more than 8 percent to its value. The total cryptocurrency market cap is circling around $190 billion as measured by TradingView with a less of $12 billion since Monday.

Cosmos is now undergoing a slight technical pullback after it staged a rally towards the $4.00 level. The crypto pair has the ability to withstand the recent crypto bear market and is one of the most impressive characteristics of the coin. The price is now settled around the ATOM/USD pair 200-day moving average with the cryptocurrency maintaining a bullish short and medium-term outlook.

According to the trendline analysis, the breakout above the $4.10 level could boost the pair’s price much higher. The new medium-term price prediction for Cosmos could even extend towards $5.00 to $8.00. The charts for Cosmos and the total market capitalization on the lower time frame shows that a bearish head and shoulders pattern breakout could happen soon.

A slight decline below the $187 billion levels could trigger the pattern and even cause mass crypto selling. The $180 to $175 billion levels is the likely downside objective and the rally above the $205 billion levels is now needed to deny the bearish pattern. According to the latest sentiment data, the crypto market is quite neutral at 50 percent. Ethereum has a strong sentiment among the top 10 at 73 percent while EOS has the weakest at 44 percent.
