Kaspa slides 7.62% today to $0.0377

Highlights

Kaspa will undergo a major network hard fork on May 5, upgrading its blockDAG protocol and signaling a key technical milestone.
Despite narrative-driven attention around the protocol change, Kaspa's price has remained under broad selling pressure.
Technical signals are mixed with increasing overbought conditions, and a high probability of further price declines toward the $0.0368–$0.0386 consolidation range.

Network upgrade fuels interest despite persistent selling pressures

Kaspa is scheduled for a significant network upgrade, with a hard fork set to enhance its blockDAG protocol on May 5. A recent period saw narrative-driven interest in Kaspa, accompanying the protocol change, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Mixed momentum as bullish signals clash with overbought indicators

The Ichimoku Kijun is at $0.0351, below the current price and acting as immediate support. On the daily chart, MACD and ADX lean bullish, while RSI is high at 68.46 and CCI is steeply overbought (241.52); Stoch RSI shows strong sell conditions. BBP is marginally positive, but today's move is negative with the price near the low end of today's range ($0.0372–$0.0386) and moderate intraday volatility.

Limited upside as volatility and bearish risk dominate outlook

For the next 5 trading days, KAS is expected to consolidate within a volatility band from $0.0368 to $0.0386, staying within 5% of the current price. The probability of further price increases is very low (less than 20%), making a decline the more likely scenario. Baseline expectations are for range-bound action as short-term bullish signals offset continued long-term pressure. A bullish scenario would require a move above immediate resistance, while a bearish case sees a break below $0.0368 and further declines.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Kaspa trading above short-term moving averages, but still under long-term resistance. The upcoming protocol upgrade has provided narrative support, yet the price remains weak near local lows. He believes technical momentum is fragile and overbought signals, alongside recent selling, limit upside chances. "Base case remains consolidation — unless KAS breaks above $0.0386, caution is warranted."

Earlier, analysts noted that Kaspa exhibited short- and medium-term bullish momentum while facing persistent long-term resistance, amid heightened volatility from its upcoming hard fork upgrade. The current analysis adds that, despite ongoing bullish signals on select indicators, the outlook now favors a neutral-to-bearish bias with $0.0368 serving as a key support level to monitor for potential downside risk.
