Zcash just ripped about 13% to around $1,285 while Bitcoin was still dusting itself off — that tells me more than the headline BTC bounce does.
BTC dipped to roughly $75,600 as US midterm results came in, then reclaimed about $78,200, with ETH up near $2,313. That's a relief bounce, fine. But ZEC didn't just bounce, it led: CoinDesk noted its open interest jumped 25% against a roughly 14% price gain, which is fresh money coming in, not just shorts covering.
My read: when a privacy name leads a broad recovery while the majors are still digesting political news, traders are positioning for volatility, not calm. I wouldn't chase ZEC vertically here after a move like that, but I'd watch whether it holds above $1,200 — if it does, the privacy trade has legs; if it fades fast, it was just election-night risk rotation.
Are you treating this ZEC strength as a real rotation, or just a one-day spike? $ZEC $BTC
