Zcash Slides After Breakout as Traders Watch Key Support

Profit-taking tests key support following this week’s breakout.

Overview

  • ZEC fell nearly 10% on Thursday to roughly $239, slipping below $240 during a risk-off move across major cryptocurrencies.
  • The pullback follows a roughly 23–25% surge to about $280 that broke a long-standing descending trendline and confirmed a bullish structure.
  • Key levels now include resistance near $282–$284 and the 200-day EMA around $281, with supports at $250–$254, $240, and a risk invalidation near $228.
  • Recent momentum signals that supported the breakout included a Supertrend flip to green, RSI holding above 60, a positive MACD cross, and rising volume.
  • Analysts note renewed interest in privacy-focused tokens, while a social-media claim tying ZEC’s move to Washington, D.C. regulatory developments remains unconfirmed.
