Kaspa (KAS) is showing signs of an impending breakout, according to a YouTube video analysis by Crypto Mindset. A bullish pattern, similar to one that preceded a price surge in late 2023, has emerged in KAS’s price chart.
The analyst at Crypto Mindset has highlighted key KAS resistance levels and market indicators. With the broader crypto market poised for a potential bull run, KAS investors are eyeing mid-August as a critical period for the digital asset.
KAS Historical Patterns and Current Formation
Crypto Mindset’s video draws parallels between the current price action and a previous bullish triangle. The earlier formation, observed from September to November 2023, led to a threefold increase in KAS’s price. Now, a similar pattern is taking shape from early June to August 2024, spanning approximately 60 days.
The analysis emphasizes the importance of this historical context. It suggests that the current triangle formation could herald another price movement for KAS.
Critical Resistance Levels and Breakout Indicators
For KAS to confirm a bullish breakout, several key levels must be surpassed. The analysis identifies daily closes above 18 cents as an initial indicator of building momentum. However, the critical threshold lies at the 20-cent mark. A decisive close above this level could trigger a substantial upward movement.
Crypto Mindset employs line chart analysis to clearly identify these crucial levels. This method strips away the noise of price wicks, focusing on the most important data points. Historical resistance from March and February 2024 serves as a reference for current price action.

Analyst “𝐂𝐫𝐲𝐩𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐞” recently shared on Twitter that Kaspa’s hashrate has reached a new high of 645 PH/s. The hashrate has consistently been a significant value proposition for Kaspa.
The KAS price has experienced a modest 3% increase this week, currently trading around $0.18.
Marathon’s Influence on Kaspa Mining
It’s been about a month since Marathon Digital Holdings (Mara) announced they had begun mining KAS to diversify their portfolio. Since then, Kaspa’s hashrate has increased by approximately 100 PH/s.
We know that Mara had purchased 60 PH of mining machines, but the additional increase suggests that other major Bitcoin mining companies have joined Mara in mining KAS, likely due to its higher profitability compared to Bitcoin.
Some have speculated that Mara might sell their mining profits to purchase more Bitcoin. However, this seems unlikely for several reasons:
Increased Hashrate: By dedicating a significant portion of their computational power to mining Kaspa, Marathon is contributing to the overall hashrate of the Kaspa network. A higher hashrate enhances the network’s security and stability, making it more resilient.
Network Growth: The involvement of a major player like Marathon brings more attention and credibility to Kaspa. This can attract more miners and investors, stimulating further growth and development within the Kaspa community.
Strategic Diversification: Marathon’s strategy to diversify its mining operations by including Kaspa demonstrates confidence in the potential of the project. This diversification may also encourage other mining companies”
Crypto Archie recently shared a video analyzing whether Kaspa (KAS) could hit $5 in the current crypto bull run. The speaker has performed calculations to estimate Kaspa’s potential market cap and price.
Market Cap and Price Calculations
In 2021, a cryptocurrency needed a market cap of around $80 billion to be in the top 5. However, the market has evolved, and more capital has entered the space.
The speaker anticipates a 2-3x increase in the total market cap from the last bull run, estimating it to be around $7.5 trillion. In this cycle, a cryptocurrency would need a market cap of approximately $160-240 billion to be in the top five.

Kaspa (KAS) currently has a market cap of $4.3 billion. To reach the top five, Kaspa would need to increase by approximately 37-55x, translating to a price of $6-10 per Kaspa coin.
The speaker’s realistic prediction for Kaspa is between $3-4 during this bull run, potentially reaching the top 10 but not the top five. A 15-20x increase from the current price is seen as more likely.
Influences and Market Sentiment
He mentioned influencers like Da Vinci Jeremy, who has shown bullish sentiments about Kaspa for long-term holding.
Influencers such as Michael Saylor or Cathie Wood expressing support could also positively impact the price.
