The broader cryptocurrency market is showing relative strength over the weekend, with both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trading in the green. This stability in the majors has helped lift sentiment across the altcoin space, and Kaspa (KAS) is beginning to respond positively.
KAS is up more than 4% on the day, and more importantly, its recent price action is starting to outline a clear technical structure. The 4-hour chart suggests that a harmonic pattern is developing, hinting that KAS could be setting up for another upside attempt if key levels are reclaimed.

Harmonic Pattern Taking Shape
On the 4-hour timeframe, KAS appears to be forming a Bearish ABCD harmonic pattern. Despite the bearish label, this setup often delivers a strong bullish CD-leg before price reaches the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ). This interim rally is typically the most aggressive phase of the structure, and that is the move currently unfolding.
The pattern began with a sharp advance from point A near $0.0360 to point B, marking KAS’s initial impulse higher. This was followed by a corrective pullback into point C around $0.0400, where downside momentum stalled and buyers stepped in decisively. The defense of this level suggests that selling pressure is weakening and that demand is beginning to build.

Since bouncing from point C, KAS has pushed back toward the $0.046–$0.047 region, signaling the early stages of the CD-leg. This recovery phase indicates improving short-term momentum as the market tests overhead resistance.
A key technical obstacle now lies at the 50-period moving average, currently near $0.0484. This level has acted as dynamic resistance throughout the recent downtrend, and price is now compressing just below it. A clean breakout and sustained close above the 50 MA would be an important confirmation that bulls are regaining control and that the harmonic structure is progressing as expected.
What’s Next for KAS?
If buyers can drive KAS above the 50 MA and maintain momentum, the next upside objective aligns with the harmonic PRZ near the 1.17 Fibonacci extension around $0.0670. Reaching this zone would complete the ABCD pattern and represent a potential upside of roughly 40%–45% from current levels.
That said, the bullish scenario remains conditional. A failure to break above the 50 MA, followed by a drop back below the C-leg support near $0.0400, would weaken the harmonic setup and reopen the door for renewed bearish pressure.
For now, the structure on the chart suggests KAS is at a technically important inflection point. As long as price continues to hold above recent lows and challenge key resistance levels, the path of least resistance may remain tilted to the upside in the short term.

BTC edges up 0.46% in 15 minutes: institutional fund outflows and macro risk-off sentiment in sync drove the move
From 15:00 to 15:15 (UTC) on 2026-04-16, BTC logged a +0.46% return within 15 minutes. The price fluctuated in a range of 73,939.7 to 74,440.0 USDT, with an amplitude of 0.68%. During this time window, market attention increased, short-term volatility intensified, and fund-flow characteristics changed noticeably.
The main driver of this deviation is the continued outflow of large amounts of capital from exchanges. According to on-chain data, in the past 24 hours the net flow was -14,408.84 BTC, mainly concentrated in large transfer ranges of more than $1 million (especially>$10M net outflow -12,987.03 BTC). This shows that institutions and large holders actively reduced their BTC holdings on exchanges, and short-term selling pressure was significantly lowered. Against the backdrop of persistently weak liquidity, with order book depth remaining at a low level for a long time, the price has become more sensitive to medium-sized buy orders—amplifying the impact of even modest inflows on spot market price action.
In addition, macro conditions changed in parallel and produced a synchronized effect: easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East boosted overall market sentiment. International gold prices rose, global equity markets hit new highs, and the market re-evaluated the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting rates within the year, further increasing investor attention to safe-haven assets (including BTC). At the same time, on-chain data indicates that the “whale” trading activity during this phase is at an annual low (>$1M transfers fell to 1,485 transactions). With heavy market wait-and-see sentiment and limited short-term supply, BTC’s responsiveness to sudden buy-side capital was further enhanced.
Investors should be reminded that current market liquidity is still fragile. Insufficient order book depth increases the market’s sensitivity to large capital movements, and short-term volatility may intensify. Going forward, focus on further shifts in on-chain large-fund flows, changes in price action as it breaks through support or resistance regions, and the risks and opportunities brought by related macro policies and geopolitical developments. Please continue to track key data and stay alert to any sudden shocks during the period of abnormal moves.
