ZEC is sitting in a very awkward but important 1H zone right now.

Price is back at $956.5 after flushing to $919.9, but the recovery is happening directly around MA7 at $953 and MA25 at $947.

That gives me a very clear read:

buyers defended the lower range, but they still haven’t proven trend continuation.

The $942–$947 area has become the short-term decision zone. As long as ZEC keeps closing above it, the recent selloff looks more like a liquidity sweep than a full breakdown.

What I’m watching next is $968–$970.

That level capped price repeatedly before the drop. A clean hourly close back above it would change the structure from recovery into continuation and put $992 back in play.

But there’s still one major problem sitting above everything:

MA99 is around $1,021.

So even if ZEC pushes through $992, that $1,000–$1,022 region is likely where the real test begins. That’s the area where a local breakout would meet the larger declining trend.

Volume also matters here.

The biggest volume came during the selloff into $919, while the rebound volume is already cooling. That usually means I wouldn’t trust a breakout purely because price pokes above resistance. I’d want the breakout candle to come with expansion in volume again.

For me, the chart is basically trapped between two confirmations:

above $968 → buyers regain short-term control
below $942 → the rebound starts looking weak again

Until one side gives way, this is still a recovery inside a broader overhead resistance structure.
