Futures outflows and subdued leverage as BlockDAG narrative evolves

Kaspa has seen a notable drop in futures open interest, reaching levels last observed in summer 2024, coinciding with subdued leverage in the market and potentially late-cycle bear trends. Continued discussion around Kaspa's BlockDAG technology and its Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism persists, after initial industry skepticism. Meanwhile, Bitget's integration of credit card purchases for Kaspa provides additional fiat onramp options for users.

Bearish momentum accelerates with oversold signals and heavy volatility

Momentum indicators on D1 are decisively bearish: MACD and ADX signal declining momentum in favor of sellers, while oscillators confirm oversold conditions with RSI at 39.92, Stoch RSI at a very low 16.88, and CCI at –127.38. BBP indicates clear seller dominance, and the Awesome Oscillator supports this negative trend. Intraday action showed heavy selling pressure after the open, with little recovery and a narrow gap between $0.0455 and $0.0448, keeping KAS near the session low of $0.0419 amid high volatility.

Downside risk dominates outlook as sideways trade expected

For the next five sessions, KAS is expected to trade within a volatility band of $0.0380–$0.0450 relative to current levels due to strong recent price swings. The probability of a price increase remains low, making further declines more likely. Baseline expectations point to stabilization in a sideways band near present prices. A bullish break above resistance at $0.0496 (Ichimoku Kijun) could open a move toward $0.0510–$0.0520, while a close below $0.0419 exposes $0.0380 as the next support.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Traders Union expert, sees Kaspa under clear downside pressure in the short term. He notes that despite bearish price action and weak sentiment, the project continues to attract attention for its unique BlockDAG technology and new fiat onramps. Karapetjanc remains constructive, expecting stabilization before any significant recovery. Fundamentals and user adoption are key watch points for a reversal. "If Kaspa can hold above $0.0419 and interest returns on renewed network growth, a meaningful rebound could follow soon."

Last time, analysts noted that Kaspa (KAS) is trading below all major moving averages with persistent bearish momentum, as technical indicators including MACD, ADX, and oscillators confirm oversold conditions amid a recent rebound toward session highs. Immediate resistance is marked at $0.0496, while consolidation within a narrow range is expected as downside risks remain unless buyers regain control above this level.
