$ZEC has a bullish setup for the next 5–10 hours, but chasing at $1,242 is not attractive after the recent +49.7% 7-day move.
🔥 My prediction: LONG
The strongest signals: Price: ~$1,241.82, with +10.37% in 24h and +49.74% in 7d. Futures net flow: +$13.09M in 1h, +$88.47M in 4h, +$106.11M in 8h and +$109.64M in 12h. Spot flow: positive across 1h–12h, reaching +$16.73M over 12h.
Short liquidations are dominating: $10.10M shorts liquidated over 24h versus only $2.42M longs.
That's classic squeeze fuel. Long/short account ratios are below 0.50, meaning there is still substantial short positioning that can be squeezed.
🎯 Trade setup
LONG ENTRY: $1,218 – $1,228 Don't blindly market-buy $1,242. I want the pullback.
SL: $1,195 TP1: $1,260 TP2: $1,300 TP3: $1,340
Expected path:
$1,218–1,228 → $1,260 → $1,300 → $1,340
The most likely behavior, in my view, is a short-term pullback/consolidation followed by another squeeze higher.
⚠️ Important invalidation
If ZEC loses $1,195, I would abandon the long thesis. Don't keep averaging down.
Also, if price simply rockets through $1,260 without giving the $1,218–1,228 entry, don't chase it. After a 50% weekly move, chasing is exactly how you turn a good directional thesis into a bad trade. Bias: 🟢 Bullish | Confidence: ~70% | 5–10h target zone: $1,300–$1,340 This is a technical setup, not a guaranteed prediction.
