ZCash (ZEC): Why Is the Price Soaring Now?

The bulls have struck hard. After successfully defending the long-term support at $187, ZCash has begun a spectacular recovery, erasing previous losses to attack the $300 zone. This level, which previously acted as major support, has now transformed into local resistance. After being breached with surprising ease over recent days, ZEC ultimately closed its weekly candle below this level.

Currently, ZCash is trading in a highly volatile zone between $297 and $282. Trading volume has exploded, signaling an aggressive return of buyers. This movement is supported by a market structure that has solidified: breaking through $300 left behind a “Fair Value Gap” (imbalance), suggesting this level could now act as dynamic resistance now that it has been filled.

Liquidation data analysis also shows that price is drawn to liquidity. Significant zones of short position liquidations are accumulating around $342 and $360. As often happens in trading, price tends to hunt these levels to “punish” bearish bettors before deciding its next major direction.

$460 Target: Is the Bullish Scenario Credible?

If current momentum holds, ZCash has a clear path to aim higher. Analysts now identify the $400 – $460 zone as the next major barrier. This is where the main seller order blocks (supply zone) are located, as indicated by the massive weekly order block. A weekly close above $300 would confirm this trend change and could propel the token toward these new highs.

However, nothing is guaranteed. Technical indicators like the RSI and Stochastic RSI show signs of being overbought, which often precedes a consolidation phase or quick correction. Additionally, correlation with Bitcoin (BTC) remains strong: if the market leader fails to break through its own resistance levels (notably $70,000), it could drag ZEC down with it, invalidating the recent breakout.

Is This the Right Time to Enter ZCash?

Caution is warranted. While the break above $300 is a powerful bullish signal, the risk of a “fakeout” (false breakout) always exists in such a volatile market. We need to watch for a potential retest of the $300 level to confirm it has truly transformed into support.

If ZEC manages to maintain above this critical threshold despite Bitcoin’s turbulence, the path toward $360 appears open in the short term. Conversely, a reintegration below $300 could send price back toward lower demand zones around $235. The week ahead looks decisive: can ZCash convert this attempt into a genuine sustainable bull run?
