While Bitcoin experienced a dip to $40,700 yesterday, it maintains an upward global trend. This report offers an in-depth review of the market situation for the altcoins Litecoin (LTC) and Cosmos Hub (ATOM) as of Friday, January 19.
Litecoin (LTC)
Litecoin has been struggling to recover since the post-halving slump in August 2023. It is currently exhibiting a local downtrend, making it one of the few altcoins that hasn't significantly rallied alongside Bitcoin's rise.
Presently, LTC is oscillating between a support zone of $64.2–$66.8 and a resistance level of $71.5. If the buying momentum strengthens soon, LTC might target the seller's zone around $75.1–$77.7. Should this growth pace accelerate, LTC could also challenge the resistance area between $81.0–$85.5, though this seems less probable at the moment.
Litecoin's trajectory is likely to mirror any corrective movements in Bitcoin's chart, with subsequent support levels expected at $61.0 and $57.5.

Cosmos Hub (ATOM)
Following its annual peak at $12.6, ATOM experienced a 22% pullback. Currently, ATOM is holding steady, but it's important to consider its high correlation with Bitcoin, especially on larger timeframes.
ATOM is currently positioned within a support range of $9.30-$9.63. If this zone holds strong, the asset could resume its upward movement. Under this scenario, ATOM could aim for the $10.25 level, followed by resistance tests at $10.8–$11.3 and $11.6–$12.2.
Should a deeper correction occur, Cosmos Hub might retreat to support levels at $8.88 and $8.20–$8.55.
