The Climbing Price Chart
Despite a death cross forming on June 29, KAVA prices kept going up till July 7. Then, however, the DeFi crypto began a bear run on July 8 that lasted for two weeks. Once the crypto market started gaining on July 21, KAVA followed suit. With the Kava Swap testnet news apprehensively propelling it, the digital currency marked seven green candles in a row on the daily chart.
KAVA rebounded from support at the $3.20 level to begin its ongoing bull run. Moreover, the DeFi crypto is now trading above the 50-Day (Yellow) and 200-Day (Red) Moving Average (MA) waves, making it bullish in short and long-term ranges.

In addition, the 20-Day Exponential (Blue) MA has formed a support confluence with the 50-Day MA at the $3.93 level. If the current rally fails, $3.93 will become crucial support for the bulls to consolidate. KAVA tested resistance at $6.00 on Monday before correction set in and pulled back prices.
Hence, $6.00 resistance is the current target for bulls.
If the rally continues above the immediate resistance, prices may reach $6.54 before any pullbacks occur. The $6.54 level acted as support from April 1 to April 16 this year. Interestingly, the cryptocurrency reached its ATH of $8.281 on April 6.
On the other hand, if the rally fails, bulls can find support at $3.050, a historically strong support level.
Trend-based momentum oscillator MACD is bullish for KAVA. The MACD line (difference of 12-Day and 26-Day EMA) is significantly above the MACD signal line (9-Day EMA of MACD), as the MACD histogram’s rising bars show.
Although the relative strength index for KAVA is technically neutral at 68.09, the value is dangerously close to the overbought levels. Therefore, the RSI is used to assess price momentum.
Increasing volumes indicate the bullish momentum for KAVA is strong.
