ZCash rockets beyond $500 despite warning signs… What now?

Key Takeaways

Is it dangerous to buy ZCash at these elevated levels?

It can be extremely dangerous if bought on margin, and could be profitable if the price reaches the $591 and $726 targets-traders should manage the risks and have a clear invalidation for their buys.

Is there a catch to the current ZCash rally?

Traders and investors should remember that, narrative aside, ZEC has not fundamentally changed — yet it is up 1,218% since early August. Instead of buying more, it might be wiser to take profits.


ZCash [ZEC] smashed aside the $500 psychological resistance on Thursday, the 6th of November.

On Wednesday, a day earlier, the bulls managed to drive prices to $501, but were forced to retreat to $468. This retreat was as brief as it was shallow.

With high trading volume and six consecutive green days, and after outperforming most of the market in October, ZCash investors must be euphoric.

Technical indicators reached overbought levels never before seen in the history of ZEC’s trading.

Overbought signals didn’t matter when ZCash’s price had quadrupled within a month back in the first week of October, and it might not matter now.

How much higher can ZCash go?

In an AMBCrypto report last week, we reported how a rally to $726 is possible. That hasn’t changed, with recent price action vindicating the expectation of a rally past $400.

The weekly chart showed just how quickly gains can come once key levels are breached.

Yes, the MFI was at 99.59, the highest weekly reading ZEC has ever seen. While this can lead to a pullback, it is not an immediate “sell” signal for traders and investors should.

Instead, taking profits level by level for traders would be a sensible route. The next levels to watch are the 61.8% and 100% Fibonacci extension levels at $591.6 and $726.9.

On the 4-hour chart, a bearish divergence between MFI and price was seen. However, we also see the moving averages being respected as dynamic support.

Traders shouldn’t rush to go short because of a divergence, and can look for a pullback to the moving averages to assess buying opportunities.

However, traders and investors must remember one important thing. In a post on X, trader Credibull Crypto noted how nothing fundamental has changed for ZEC from the past six months.

An explosive narrative built up in September, and is propelling prices higher.

This narrative might not last forever – so book profits while you can, and enjoy the ride.

Analyst Who Predicted Bitcoin's Major Drop in October Now Predicts What Could Happen Next

Sean Farrell, head of digital asset strategy at Fundstrat, analyzes the current uncertain and volatile crypto market. He notes that while traditional tech stocks hit record highs, lagging crypto assets have created market apathy, which could be an early sign of a bottom forming. Farrell's base case suggests Bitcoin and the broader crypto market may experience one final sharp decline before initiating a sustained upward trend. It remains unclear if this drop will form a new deep low or test recent lows. He points out that global liquidity conditions and rising US 10-year Treasury yields continue to pressure liquidity-sensitive assets like cryptocurrencies in the short term. Farrell states that the tech sector's growth is driven by significant corporate profit increases, whereas the crypto market hasn't yet received the necessary monetary and fiscal liquidity. Although high US Treasury issuance and rising long-term bond yields are pressuring the market, he predicts a potential shift within the next 3-6 months. After risk appetite diminishes due to high interest rates, liquidity-boosting measures from regulators or central banks could trigger a new bull market. Additionally, Farrell believes that if a new governance proposal aimed at reducing inflation on the Solana network is adopted, it would lessen sell-side pressure and could act as a significant catalyst for the token's price.

Bitcoin Breaches $64,000 Mark Again as Short Sellers Lose $57.4 Million in Liquidations

Bitcoin surged back above $64,000 on Monday, reversing a dip below $63,000 that had threatened to revisit mid-August lows. The rally coincided with an announcement from MicroStrategy stating it had neither bought nor sold any Bitcoin over the past week. After falling to a daily low near $62,653, Bitcoin sharply reversed course, climbing approximately $1,000 in six hours to reach a daily high above $64,375. By early afternoon EST, it was trading above $64,200, marking a nearly 2% daily gain and turning its weekly performance positive. The price movement triggered significant liquidations in the derivatives market, with leveraged short positions losing $57.4 million over 24 hours, contributing to total crypto market liquidations nearing $220 million. While MicroStrategy paused its Bitcoin purchases, it increased its cash reserves to $4.8 billion using part of the proceeds from a recent common stock sale. The funds were also used for share buybacks and preferred dividend payments. Analysts suggest this focus on balance sheet strength helps mitigate near-term liquidation pressure, especially as Bitcoin's price remains about 15% below MicroStrategy's average acquisition cost of $75,385. However, critics argue the capital allocation disproportionately benefits preferred shareholders (STRC) over common stockholders (MSTR) and sidelines the company's core growth strategy of aggressive Bitcoin accumulation. Bitcoin initially appeared to react positively to reports of a potential 60-day ceasefire extension between the U.S. and Iran, but the rally's momentum faded after Iranian officials denied the reports. Consequently, Bitcoin currently lacks a clear macroeconomic catalyst to sustain a decisive bullish breakout.
