ZCash (ZEC) Price Bounces Back, but Sellers Pile Up

After facing a massive crash, ZCash (ZEC) price is showing signs of a bounce back, gaining 9%. However, today’s upside comes with a 10% drop in daily trading volumes, to $1.4 billion. This highlights a weakness for the bullish momentum to continue


Crypto analyst Ardi reported increasing whale activity in Zcash (ZEC), noting a positive delta of +1.06 as large holders attempt to trigger a price rebound. However, he highlighted significant sell pressure at the $380 resistance level. Ardi noted that the sell volume reached 18.7 million, nearly triple the 6.1 million buy volume recorded at the same zone.

Ardi said the imbalance indicates heavy distribution, with sellers using available liquidity to offload positions. He added that unless ZEC can reclaim the $380 level, current whale bids risk becoming “exit liquidity” for bearish participants.

Ardi also stated that if the bulls manage to take out $380, it would trigger a short squeeze straight to $420 levels. However, if they face rejection here, bears could take the ZCash price in the $250–$290 range.

ZEC Showing Swing Trade Setup, Says Analyst

Crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa said the ZCash price is presenting a potential swing-long opportunity. Sherpa noted that the price has retraced to the 0.618 Fibonacci level, a zone he views as strong support. He added that while a return to all-time highs appears unlikely, the setup could offer a 20–40% upside on a rebound.

Sherpa cautioned that traders should place a stop-loss below the 0.618 level to manage downside risk. 

During its spectacular rally in November, ZCash also attracted strong institutional interest. Big players like Nasdaq-listed Reliance Global and Winklevoss-backed Cypherpunk Technologies announced their ZEC treasury plans.
