$ZEC
This privacy coin leg was hit the hardest. ZEC slid from the 30-candle high at 1681 down to 1305, a drop of 22%. The move to 1494 on September 30 was the last bull trap; after that, the longs completely gave up. The 4-hour candle on October 1 that fell from 1378 to 1325 was the main sell-off segment—its single-candle decline was over 5%, and the volume at 608M was the highest in the recent period.
Market signals
In the past 10 4-hour candles, support sits at 1305 and resistance at 1494—the price is being pressed hard. Funding rate is +0.01%/8h; it’s positive but very close to the zero line. Shorts are priced in sufficiently, but it hasn’t reached extreme levels yet. Over the last 30 candles, the trajectory has fallen from 1637 down to 1305 with no sign of trend break. I’m bearish.
Market sentiment
In this pullback, the privacy-coin sector was sold off first. As an established blue-chip in the privacy track, ZEC doesn’t have the market cap or liquidity of the mainstream L1 chains—once risk-off kicks in, trimming is the first choice. Daily traded value is close to 2 billion yuan, showing that selling pressure is concentrated and released, but the rebound strength is weak, indicating clearly insufficient confidence from the bulls.
Whale activity
The sell-off from September 27 to 28 came with a volume expansion. The candle at 12:00 on the 27th crashed from 1660 to 1581 with 697M in成交量, and the candle at 16:00 on the 28th dumped from 1530 to 1451 with 631M in volume. Both reflect the main players’ distribution rhythm. After that, rebound volume stepped down gradually, and whales had no intention to buy back. The bounce to 1494 on the 30th was the whales’ last escape door; after that, they allowed it to free-fall.
Volume-price structure
Daily traded value of 1.98 billion is panic-level volume for privacy coins, but the volume is concentrated in the decline. The 16:00 candle on October 1 that dumped from 1378 to 1325 with 608M volume was the single largest—classic panic selling. The current volume ratio is 0.01, and trading volume has basically dried up. Selling pressure may be exhausted, but there’s still no incoming buying—so the market is in a vacuum.
Candlestick details
In the latest sequence of 4-hour candles, there’s been continuous grinding lower, with highs stepping down—1439, 1449, 1417, 1413, 1387, 1344—while lows steadily approach 1305. The high-volume big bearish candle at 16:00 on October 1 was the acceleration phase of the sell-off. After that, even though it rebounded to 1344, the volume was only 195M. The rebound came on low volume—weakness is the dominant feature. Once 1305 breaks, there’s no obvious nearby support reference below.
Nini’s plan
Watch for a test of the 1305 support and how the rebound performs in the 1400–1420 resistance zone. Current price is 1335.45 USDT: it’s only 2.2% from support 1305, but about 12% away from resistance 1494. If it holds 1305 on reduced volume, you can take a light position to bet on a short-term rebound. If it breaks below 1305 on increased volume, step aside and wait. Right now it’s neither up nor down; the best strategy is to wait—don’t bottom-fish, don’t chase shorts, and let the market choose its direction.
If you need a tailored strategy, you can find Nini.
