Zcash (ZEC) Defies Market Crash, Eyes $300 Milestone

Zcash (ZEC) is currently the top performer among the leading 30 cryptocurrencies by market cap, posting a massive 90% gain over the past seven days despite the broader market crash.

Price Action and Technical Outlook

The privacy-focused coin hit a four-year high of $298 over the weekend, demonstrating a strong recovery from its crash low of $149 recorded on Friday. While it has since pulled back, it is currently trading around $249 per coin.

Technical analysis suggests the rally may continue:

• Target $300: ZEC has successfully closed above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $235. Maintaining this level could allow bulls to push the price to challenge the significant $300 psychological resistance mark.
• Room to Grow: The RSI is at 52, indicating that ZEC is not yet overbought and has room for further growth. The MACD lines have also recently flashed a buy signal.
• Extended Rally: An aggressive bullish push could see the coin reach $320, a price point not seen since May 2021.

Risk Factors

While momentum is currently bullish, a sustained bearish close below the $235 Fibonacci level could reverse the trend. Such a move would likely push ZEC toward the $200 region, with the next major support level lying at $193.

Market interest is also rebounding, as the coin's Open Interest (OI) is recovering following a three-day decline, signaling renewed retail enthusiasm.
