Zcash (ZEC) price has recently stabilized above the key support level of $400 and rebounded about 10% on Wednesday, indicating that the bulls are regaining control. Currently, Zcash is in a typical bullish ascending triangle consolidation pattern, with the market watching whether it can effectively break through the resistance above to open up a new upward space.
Market data shows that Zcash price previously retreated nearly 10% from the high of $454, but after the bulls successfully held the $400 support, they quickly launched a counterattack. As of now, ZEC is around $446, a roughly 45% rebound from the December low. However, compared to the intra-year high of $723 set in November, there is still about 38% room for correction, indicating that once the trend reversal is confirmed, there is still ample upward potential.
From a fundamental perspective, the privacy sector has become a key driver of Zcash’s rebound. Many institutions and analysts point out that privacy will be an important narrative in cryptocurrencies by 2026, with firms like Grayscale also focusing on privacy-related assets. As a result, privacy coins such as Monero, Dash, and Horizen have recently risen in tandem, boosting overall sector sentiment.
On-chain data also signals positive developments. According to the official Zcash dashboard, the proportion of shielded transactions has increased to 30.6%, with the value of shielded tokens approaching $2.24 billion, reflecting a continuous rise in ZEC’s actual usage in privacy payments and anonymous transactions. Additionally, market expectations of potential approval for the Grayscale ZEC ETF also provide long-term price upside potential.
From a technical analysis perspective, Zcash has formed an ascending triangle pattern on the 4-hour chart, with a key resistance level at $475. The MACD indicator has already shown a bullish crossover and is diverging upward, and the super trend indicator has also turned bullish, indicating a short-term bullish trend. If ZEC breaks through $475 with increased volume, the target price based on technical calculations could reach $648, offering about 45% upside from the current price. Overall, $475 has become a critical level to determine Zcash’s next phase of movement.
