Last week, we said KAS would break $0.0265, then target $0.0280 – $0.0295, with $0.0300 as the big one. And it happened. The Kaspa price ran up to about $0.0318 before sellers stepped in and knocked it back to $0.0286. Down 4.15% in the last day, so things are getting less clear now.
The good part? It’s still above $0.0250, which was our line in the sand for downside risk last week. Indicators are around neutral, and there are some network upgrades coming up.
So the real question is: does the KAS price push back over $0.0300, or does it drop lower? Here’s what we’re watching for the week ahead.
What you'll learn 👉
Kaspa’s Rally Hit the Target, But Sellers Fought Back
We had a look at the chart, and last week’s prediction played out almost perfectly. The price broke above $0.0265, moved through $0.0280 – $0.0295, and then pushed above $0.0300, reaching about $0.0318 at the weekly peak.t
The rejection from that area is clear on the chart. The KAS price fell from around $0.0318 to $0.0285, creating a series of lower candles after the jump. The $0.0280 – $0.0288 zone is now the first area buyers need to defend, with $0.0300 acting as the main resistance before the recent high.
The momentum has faded, but it hasn’t flipped negative yet. RSI is at 51.98, right in the middle, neither hot nor cold. The Ultimate Oscillator is 44.25, which tells you buyers aren’t as aggressive as they were, but we’re not in panic territory either.
That leaves room for another bounce if buyers can take back $0.0290. But if $0.0280 gives way, then $0.0270 and $0.0265 become the real levels to watch.
What Is Pushing Kaspa Price This Week?
The latest weakness is mainly technical. KAS broke below its 7-day and 30-day moving averages, and earlier RSI data reached 29.69, showing oversold conditions during the decline; 24-hour trading volume also fell by more than 50%, reducing the strength behind the sell-off.
The broader market has added pressure, with the Binance Ecosystem category down 1.91% against a 1.70% decline across crypto. Coinbase also plans to delist KAS perpetual futures on September 3, which could reduce leveraged trading activity, but spot KAS trading remains unaffected.
There are still positive developments underneath the price action. Igra Network has integrated with Tangem Wallets, giving more than 1 million users a route into Kaspa-based DeFi, and Toccata has recorded around 1,200 covenant transactions plus roughly 54,000 Igra L2 transactions in 24 hours. These figures give the network growing on-chain activity even as the token cools.

Kaspa’s Next Upgrades Could Change the Bigger Picture
The next major milestone is DAGKnight in Q3 2026, bringing adaptive consensus designed to improve confirmation speed and network security. Kaspa also targets 100 blocks per second in 2027, up from 10 BPS, alongside vProgs, which could bring native parallel smart-contract functionality to Layer 1.
These upgrades could expand Kaspa beyond payments into DeFi and other applications. The key issue for the KAS price is whether real users and developers follow the technical progress.
Where Could KAS Price Go This Week?
Bullish path:
If KAS reclaims $0.0300, buyers could retest $0.0318, with $0.0325 as the next target.
Neutral path:
If $0.0300 remains resistance, KAS could consolidate between $0.0275 and $0.0300 as traders wait for a clearer breakout.
Bearish path:
Losing $0.0275 could send the KAS price toward $0.0265, followed by $0.0250. A break below $0.0250 would reopen 0.0240–0.0230.
