Zcash price rebounded toward $847 on Sept. 3 after buyers defended the $780–$800 liquidity zone, but overbought momentum and heavy leverage leave ZEC exposed to another sharp swing.
Zcash price rebounds after testing $780
According to data, Zcash ($ZEC ) price traded near $847 at the time of writing, recovering from an intraday low around $804 and extending a rebound that began after buyers stepped in near $780. The daily candle showed a gain of roughly 3.8%, reversing part of the previous session’s decline.
The recovery follows a volatile pullback from the $880–$890 area. ZEC had climbed rapidly from approximately $500 in the second half of August, with the advance accelerating once it cleared the previous resistance zone near $600.
Profit-taking emerged after the price reached an eight-month high close to $890. ZEC subsequently fell toward $780 before stabilizing, leaving it in a broad consolidation range between approximately $780 and $890.
The wider move remains strong despite the recent turbulence. Zcash is trading well above its 20-day simple moving average at $728, the 50-day SMA at $592, the 100-day SMA at $531, and the 200-day SMA at $437.
Maintaining that alignment keeps the medium-term trend positive. However, the large distance between ZEC and its shorter moving averages also shows how quickly the rally became stretched.
Momentum remains overheated despite the recovery
The daily relative strength index stood at 70.29, just above the conventional overbought threshold. Its signal line was higher at 75.79, suggesting that momentum has started cooling even as the price remains close to its recent peak.
A declining RSI against a relatively stable price can signal fading buying strength. Confirmation would require ZEC to form a lower high or lose an established support level, as an overbought reading alone does not guarantee a reversal.
The 4-hour chart presents a more balanced picture. ZEC recovered above the Bollinger Bands’ middle line at $836 after briefly trading closer to the lower band at $803. The upper band near $870 now forms the first short-term resistance.
A 4-hour close above $870 would place the recent highs around $880–$890 back in focus. Breaking that area could allow ZEC to test $900, followed by the psychological $1,000 level.
