Zcash Whale's $417K Exit Puts $400 Support Under Pressure

Zcash (ZEC) fell below $450 after a failed rebound, while a major whale closed a profitable long as liquidation pressure widened.

Key Points:

ZEC slipped to $447 after falling as low as $440, extending losses from a failed move near $543.

Garret Jin closed a ZEC long position for $417,000 in profit as leveraged longs faced heavy liquidations.

Short demand increased, leaving the $400 support area exposed if sellers keep control.

Zcash Whale

Zcash’s recovery attempt stalled near $543 four days ago, according to the market update, and the token has since moved through a steep downtrend marked by lower lows.

The decline pushed ZEC to $440 before a modest rebound to $447, leaving the token down 2.43% on the day and below the $450 level that had become important for leveraged traders.

Liquidation data from Coinglass showed more than $17 million in long positions were wiped out over three days, including more than $6.5 million in the past 24 hours after ZEC fell under $450.

Lookonchain said Jin closed his ZEC long for a $417,000 profit, one week after he reportedly took $11.4 million in profit from a short trade during the broader decline.

ZEC Support

Jin’s exit pointed to caution among larger traders, but the broader derivatives setup showed the same shift, with Coinalyze data putting ZEC’s long-short ratio at 0.86.

Shorts accounted for 53.6% of positions, compared with 46% for longs, which suggested traders were leaning toward further downside rather than trying to buy the dip.

Technical signals also remained weak. The Relative Strength Index made a bearish crossover and fell to 45, while TradingView data showed Aroon Down at 71 and Aroon Up at 0.

That setup leaves the $400 area at risk if sellers maintain control, though crowded short positioning could also fuel a reversal if buying pressure forces traders to cover. ZEC’s latest drop followed a sharp rejection from $543, then a slide to $440, making the current test less about one whale’s exit and more about whether bulls can rebuild demand before price revisits $400.
