Crypto of the Day: Kaspa (KAS)
🧠 Innovation and Added Value
Kaspa is a proof-of-work blockchain built on the GHOSTDAG protocol, an approach that enables multiple blocks to be processed in parallel. This architecture removes the bottleneck of linear chains and offers high throughput with fast finality.
The network aims to deliver an experience close to instant payments while preserving the security and decentralization of PoW. Kaspa positions itself as a technically credible alternative for payments, micro-transactions, and use cases requiring speed and resilience, without compromising censorship resistance.
💰 The Token
The KAS token serves as the network’s native currency. It rewards miners, secures the blockchain, and facilitates value transfers between users. Its issuance follows a decreasing schedule, gradually reducing the creation of new tokens.
KAS is mainly used for fast, low-cost transactions. The token’s utility depends directly on network adoption and on-chain activity.

Bitcoin: The Liquidity Battle Could Open the Path Toward $95,000
As Bitcoin consolidates below $90,000, the market faces growing tension between buyers and sellers. This strategic standoff, clearly visible in the order books, reveals intense competition around key liquidity zones. Amid ambiguous macroeconomic data and diverging behaviors between long-term holders and new entrants, some analysts suggest a possible breakout toward $95,000 if current resistance levels are breached.
Liquidity Concentrated Around Strategic Technical Zones
At the opening of U.S. markets, BTC’s price found itself trapped in a narrow channel, with strong buy orders around $85,000 and sell orders above $87,000. This setup points to a potential imbalance: sellers appear to be capping short-term upside momentum, while buyers are defending key support levels like the 100-week simple moving average (SMA).
This pattern unfolds in an economic environment where job creation outperformed expectations, yet unemployment also rose. Such mixed signals are fueling uncertainty around the direction of risk assets — Bitcoin included.
Some market players cite recent pullbacks triggered by profit-taking from long-term holders and sell-offs in Bitcoin-related ETFs. These moves may have temporarily stalled bullish momentum, ushering in a new cycle dominated by retail investors.
A Bullish Window Toward $95,000 if Resistance Breaks
Despite visible resistance, several technical signals point to a more optimistic outlook. Analyst exitpump notes the presence of deep passive orders in the order book, which could support a strong rebound if the price manages to clear the $87,000 and $90,000 thresholds. Beyond these levels, there appear to be few technical barriers until the $95,000 zone — opening the door to a potentially smooth rally.
This outlook is based on a detailed mapping of order books and liquidity clusters across trading platforms. Orders placed well above the current price reflect underlying confidence in a continued uptrend, provided volume supports a clean breakout.
If Bitcoin manages to decisively break through the $90,000 resistance zone, the path to $95,000 would become more credible. However, this scenario hinges on a confluence of factors: breaking current resistance levels, sustained consolidation above the 100‑SMA, and a favorable market reaction to upcoming economic data.
