Atom price continues to show strength in the market as the Bulls have risen by 12% in the last two days. Still, as the uptrend move unfolds, traders should remember to follow healthy risk management practices as the strength of the bulls could be waning.

Cosmos price shows a two-sided scenario

Cosmos price currently auctions at $12.75. On smaller time frames, the bulls have successfully hurdled the eight-day exponential moving average, which is an optimistic signal for the short term. However, when looking at the volume indicator, the current surge is reducing in transactions while the price ascends. This is a common signal when uptrends are near a reversal point. 

According to the Binance exchange API, which tracks the volume data on the largest crypto Exchange, The 6% move witnessed on January 20 only accounts for $1.24 million dollars worth of transactions. This is more than 50% less than the strongest green day within the 40% rally, which occurred on January 9. The cosmos price rose by 9% accumulating $3.8 million dollars worth of transactions and settled 6% net positive after a brief profit-taking event occurred. 

The relative strength index, an indicator used to gauge market momentum by comparing and contrasting swing points, shows the current uptrend moving directly beneath a key resistance level. Combining all of these factors, an uptrend is still possible, but traders should be careful not to get too overzealous.
