$BTC is holding around the mid-$80K area after reclaiming $86K, while ETF inflows and a more supportive macro tone are keeping the broader recovery intact. Citi also raised its 12-month BTC target to $113K. Near-term, however, demand has shown signs of cooling, so chasing strength remains risky.
Support: $82K–$81K
Resistance: $88K, then $92K
A sustained break above $88K could open the path toward $92K–$97K. Losing $81K would weaken the bullish setup.
$ZEC Zcash remains structurally bullish but highly volatile after its sharp September rally and roughly 19–21% pullback. The upcoming NU7 testnet upgrade on Oct. 6 is a potential catalyst, while recent ZEC ETF outflows show that short-term selling pressure remains significant.
Support: $1,244, then $1,131
Resistance: $1,370, then $1,449
For traders, holding $1,244 keeps the recovery structure alive; a clean break above $1,370 could bring $1,449–$1,616 into focus.
Strategy: BTC looks like the stronger confirmation trade, while ZEC offers higher upside potential but considerably higher volatility. Wait for resistance breakouts with volume rather than chasing extended candles.
