$ZEC just dropped to ∼$983. Down -14% today.
From ATH $1,697 in September to $983 now = -42%.
And still... is up +122% in 1 year.
So is this the end? Or the discount?
Listen:
1. What is Zcash?
Bitcoin with privacy. Same max supply as Bitcoin — 21 MILLION coins only. But with zero-knowledge proofs, your sender, receiver and amount can be hidden. In 2026, privacy is not a crime. Privacy is a FEATURE.
2. Why did it pump to $1,697?
- Grayscale launched Zcash ETF $ZCSH on NYSE — first US spot Zcash ETF
- Wall Street is literally advertising Zcash in the Wall Street Journal now
- NU7 upgrade just went LIVE — blocks now 3x faster, 75 sec → 25 sec
- Next halving: November 2028 — less new supply coming
3. Why is it dumping now?
Because it went from $200 in March → $1,697 in September. That's +748% in 6 months.
Of course people are taking profit. Of course shorts are attacking.
This is not a dead coin. This is a coin taking a breath after a monster run.
My levels I am watching:
Support: $1,045 → $1,030 → $1,000
If $1,000 breaks, next is $750.
Resistance: $1,200 → $1,370 → $1,500 → $1,697 ATH
If $ZEC closes back above $1,045 today, the bounce is real.
If it stays below $1,000, don't catch a falling knife.
My plan: I don't chase. I wait. I buy fear, not green candles.
Be honest in comments, no lie:
A = I bought $ZEC above $1,400 and I'm holding pain
B = I sold at profit and I'm waiting to re-enter
C = I never bought $ZEC, I'm watching
D = I think privacy coins are the next big narrative
