Kaspa Price Prediction After Smart Contracts Launch

Kaspa’s big moment finally arrived: smart contracts are live via Kasplex Layer-2. This isn’t just a tech box-check. EVM compatibility means Ethereum builders can port apps over with minimal friction, and the stack now includes ZK rollups, KRC-20 support, and native microtransactions. In short, the rails are ready for real usage. The question is whether the chart is ready too.

What the Kaspa chart says

Since mid-August, KAS/USDT has moved sideways to slightly down, with lower highs and choppy rebounds. The current price hovers around $0.077–$0.078. A sharp wick in early September tagged roughly $0.0727 before buyers stepped in. More recently, the price Kaspa has been bouncing between ~$0.076 support and ~$0.082 resistance, with a heavier supply pocket up at $0.085–$0.090 where prior rallies stalled.

Put simply: momentum eased, liquidity thinned, and we’ve been stuck in a range while the upgrade news digests.

RSI (4H) is sitting in the high-40s to mid-50s, which is neutral. No clear overbought/oversold edge; it’s a wait-for-direction read.

Net shorts have crept higher through September, while net longs look flat to slightly softer. That tilt says traders have been leaning cautious into the upgrade.

Open interest delta has been inconsistent with more muted prints lately, which lines up with the range-bound price: not much fresh leverage piling in yet.

Net: sentiment isn’t euphoric – the crowd is skeptical, which can be a decent backdrop if a genuine catalyst grabs flow.

Key levels I’m watching

Support: $0.076 (range floor). Lose this and $0.073 comes into view, then $0.070 on a deeper sweep.

Range mid: ~$0.079–$0.080. Reclaims here often precede a push to range highs.

Resistance: $0.082 first, then $0.085–$0.090. That upper band is the gatekeeper; multiple rejections live there.

A clean 4H/12H close above $0.085–$0.090 followed by a successful retest would finally shift structure back to bullish and put $0.10–$0.105 on the table.

The Kasplex L2 + EVM combo lowers developer friction dramatically. If we start seeing real deployments – DEX volume, KRC-20 issuance, L2 activity and fees- flows can rotate in fast. The market has been patient (and honestly, a bit bored) with Kaspa’s price this quarter; tangible usage would be the spark.

Kaspa price prediction (near term)

Base case, continued range while builders ship: $0.075–$0.085 chop as the market gauges early L2 traction.Bull case, breakout on adoption signals: reclaim $0.082, crack $0.085–$0.090, then momentum legs toward $0.10–$0.105 with extension possible if on-chain metrics pop.Bear case, post-launch fade: lose $0.076, quick probe to $0.073, with a risk of a liquidity sweep into $0.070 before buyers try again.

Kaspa finally has the tooling to match the vision. Price has lagged, but that also means expectations aren’t stretched. Watch the $0.085–$0.090 ceiling and early Kasplex usage – those two will likely decide whether KAS stays stuck… or catches up.
