AI visual analysis: A weekly Cosmos/TetherUS (ATOM/USDT) chart on Binance shows price at 1.730 (+1.88%), having broken above a descending purple trendline after compressing between green support at ~1.069–1.490 and resistance levels at 1.826 and 2.288, with key upside targets marked at 3.181, 3.780, 4.834, 6.104, and 7.280.
