ZEC is not simply pumping.

It is eating the shorts.

ZEC broke above $1,000 and turned a crowded bearish trade into forced buying. More than $34M in ZEC shorts were liquidated during the initial breakout, while open interest approached $2.3B. Another liquidation wave followed as ZEC pushed toward $1,170.

The mechanism is simple:

Price rises → shorts get liquidated → forced buying pushes price higher → more shorts get wiped.

But the interesting part is that the squeeze wasn't the original move. ZEC had already rallied sharply before leverage accelerated it.

Now the real test begins.

If spot demand keeps absorbing supply after the shorts disappear, this can remain a genuine price discovery phase.

If new leverage is simply replacing the liquidated shorts, the reversal could be just as violent.

So I’m watching open interest more than the headline price.

The question isn't why ZEC is pumping.

It's how much higher can it go once there are fewer shorts left to squeeze?
