This wave of the privacy sector rally isn’t over yet, but the pace has clearly changed. In just a few days it went from 800 to 1176, and ZEC went absolutely wild.

DASH was even more aggressive, rising from 45 to 76 in three straight days without a pullback. A lot of people missed it, including me. But what I care more about is: how much momentum does the privacy coin sector still have?

ZEC ran from 800 to 1176 and is now moving sideways around 1140. That’s more than 30%. DASH went from 45 to 76, almost doubling. But I noticed one detail: among ZEC’s smart money, 1,046 people are in profit, with an average cost of 763, floating profit of 97.75 million, and a 93% win rate; 664 people are at a loss, with an average cost of 890 and a floating loss of 10.34 million. The profitable group has an average cost 127 dollars lower, and their position size is more than 6 times that of the losing group.

What does this mean? The main players have already loaded up below 800, and the people who chased in around 890 still haven’t broken even. After ZEC pumped to 1176, it clearly lost momentum. The 4-hour RSI hit 92, and the daily RSI hit 89—seriously overbought.

DASH has a similar structure: 529 profitable addresses with an average cost of 55.56, and 301 losing addresses with an average cost of 65.28. The profitable group’s position size is nearly 2 times that of the losing group.

So how should we look at this next? Both ZEC and DASH need to digest profits in the short term, so chasing highs is not a good choice. Personally, I’ll wait for ZEC to pull back to around 1050-1080, and DASH to pull back to around 65-68, then see whether support comes in. Waiting for a pullback is safer than chasing. Missing the move is better than getting trapped.

That said, the core logic behind the privacy sector hasn’t changed. Zcash’s move from PoW to PoS, the Grayscale ETF, and the halving expectations for both ZEC and DASH are all real catalysts. In the short term, after such a big run, a pause is natural—but after that, it may still continue higher.

What do you think is the ceiling for this ZEC move? Let’s discuss in the comments.
