ZCash traders, patience may pay off – But only after THIS move

Resumen

ZCash (ZEC) declined 3.82% in 24 hours, underperforming Bitcoin. Despite a bullish structure shift earlier in December, momentum has slowed. ZEC is defending the $400 support level, but repeated tests may weaken it. A breakdown is possible due to ongoing selling pressure. Traders should wait for a move above $425 and a successful retest before considering long positions. Market-wide sentiment and Bitcoin's performance remain key factors. The privacy sector, including Monero and Dash, has also underperformed recently.

ZCash fell 3.82% over the past 24 hours, following Bitcoin’s slide to the $87.5k low.

While Bitcoin [BTC] managed to bounce higher, ZCash [ZEC] was not able to undo the recent losses.

In a recent report, AMBCrypto noted that a rally to $605 was on the cards after a breakout from a descending channel. Another report observed that, so long as the $382-$395 demand zone was defended, there’s a chance of a ZEC rally.

As things stand, the bullish momentum has slowed down in recent days but has not died down.

There is still the possibility of a ZCash recovery. However, the market-wide sentiment is impacting the altcoins.

The underperformance of the privacy sector, with Monero [XMR] and Dash [DASH] down 0.89% and 14.5% within the past four days, helped explain the ZCash performance.

ZCash continues to defend the $400 support

On the daily chart, the move past the $409.3 local high on the 9th of December confirmed a bullish structure shift. Additionally, the $410 area was an imbalance on the same timeframe from the end of November.

Highlighted in white, the imbalance has served as a steady demand zone in recent days.

The OBV has begun to push higher, and the RSI signaled momentum was turning as well.

On the 1-hour chart, bearish momentum and structure were observed. The OBV also showed heightened selling pressure since Friday, the 12th of December.

Chances of a breakdown below $400?

So far, the psychological $400 support has held up well, but multiple retests of the same level weaken it.

Over the past week, this support has been tested thrice. Given the lower timeframe selling pressure, a breakdown was possible.

Traders’ call to action – wait for THIS trigger for longs

It is best to allow the lower timeframe to align with the higher timeframe trend before looking to trade in the trend’s direction. In ZEC’s case now, a move above the $425 local resistance and a retest of the same would offer a buying opportunity.

Traders can look to remain neutral until market-wide sentiment and Bitcoin capital inflows improve, as BTC faced high selling pressure recently.


Final Thoughts

  • ZCash was unable to clear the $480 resistance and has retraced back to the $400 psychological support.
  • ZEC bulls are likely to have more success in the short-term, provided the $425 supply zone is overcome.

From South Korea to the United States: Blue-Collar Jobs Are Becoming Increasingly Popular, Thanks to AI

AI is reshaping the labor market's value proposition. The traditional four-year college degree is losing its appeal as a guaranteed career path, while skilled blue-collar trades like electricians, welders, and plumbers are experiencing historic demand and wage premiums. This shift is driven by dual pressures: AI's displacement of certain white-collar roles and a booming need for physical infrastructure and data center construction. Data confirms the trend. In the U.S., vocational school revenue surged, and a significant portion of recent layoffs are AI-related. Surveys show a majority of Gen Z adults plan to pursue blue-collar work, citing better job security against AI automation. Vocational education interest has exploded recently. Experts cite a psychological shift as younger generations seek tangible, AI-resistant careers and avoid high student debt. In many cases, salaries for skilled trades now match or exceed those requiring a bachelor's degree. In South Korea, semiconductor vocational high schools boast near-total employment, with graduates securing high-paying roles at companies like Samsung. The shortage is structural, exacerbated by a retiring baby boomer workforce and massive infrastructure projects. Companies like JPMorgan Chase, Meta, and Lowe's are investing heavily in training programs. However, overcoming historical stigma and a "perception gap" around trade careers remains a key challenge to closing the talent gap.

Qualcomm: AI Hype Subsides, When Will Smartphones Emerge from the Gloom?

Qualcomm reported its Q3 FY2026 results (ending June 2026), with revenue of $9.95B, down 4% YoY but above expectations. Gross margin declined to 53.1%, pressured by rising costs across manufacturing and memory. Key business segments showed mixed performance: Handset revenue fell 19.6% YoY to $5.09B, dragged by an 11% decline in non-Apple Android shipments and weaker high-end mix. Conversely, Automotive revenue surged 61% to $1.59B, and IoT grew 9% to $1.83B. Core operating profit dropped 41% YoY due to margin compression and higher expenses. Management's Q4 FY2026 guidance projects revenue of $9.7B-$10.5B, in line with consensus, but Non-GAAP EPS guidance of $2.05-$2.25 fell short of expectations. Amidst persistent weakness in its core handset market, Qualcomm is pursuing growth in AI, focusing on Edge AI (smartphones, PCs, automotive) and Data Center AI. Its data center strategy includes four pillars: AI accelerators (e.g., AI200), commercial CPUs (Dragonfly C1000), custom silicon, and connectivity solutions. While these initiatives initially boosted its stock, concerns over AI capital expenditure sustainability have since erased those gains. The company targets $5B in data center revenue for FY2027 and $15B for FY2029. The report concludes that with the traditional handset business still under pressure, the data center opportunity is currently viewed as a longer-term option, and a more conservative valuation based on core operations may be warranted until AI contributions materialize.

From TPU to Self-Evolving Agents: How Jeff Dean Predicts the Next Step in AI

At the 2026 YC Startup School, Jeff Dean outlined his vision for AI's next phase, shifting focus from simply scaling models to building intelligent, autonomous systems. He believes AI's progress is no longer just about creating smarter models, but about integrating them into systems capable of long-term, iterative work, automated experimentation, and continuous learning. This evolution moves the competition from "who has the bigger model" to "who can best organize intelligence." Dean suggests AI capabilities are now comparable to a junior engineer, enabling the automation of complex workflows. However, the true challenge and opportunity lie in managing these AI "workers" at scale. He emphasizes the importance of **context engineering**—structuring tools, memory, and feedback loops—over raw model power. For startups, this means building deep expertise in niche domains where general models currently fail (near 0-1% success rates), leveraging proprietary data, specialized tools, and domain-specific evaluators. A recurring theme is re-examining fundamental constraints. Dean's past work, like moving Google's search index to memory or creating the TPU, stemmed from questioning outdated assumptions about hardware and cost. He sees similar inflection points today, particularly in **specialized inference hardware** to drastically reduce latency and energy consumption for real-time Agent operation. Notably, he points out that in modern AI systems, the dominant cost is often not computation but **data movement**. Reliable, long-running Agents require robust system design, borrowing concepts from distributed computing like checkpointing, state management, and parallel exploration to handle failures and maintain progress over days or weeks. As AI automates execution, the scarcest human skills will shift to **defining clear specifications**, **judging what problems are worth solving** (taste), and designing effective feedback loops. Ultimately, Dean's framework prioritizes understanding the problem deeply, identifying the true bottlenecks, and systematically building closed-loop systems where AI can not only perform tasks but also improve AI itself.
