Zcash ($ZEC ) Market Update: Post-Rally Consolidation, $1,100 Support Under Pressure
$ZEC is trading near $1,139**, cooling off after a parabolic run from **~$500 in mid-August to a multi-year high of ~$1,290 . The rally was fueled by the Ironwood upgrade (88% of legacy Orchard funds migrated) and Grayscale's Zcash Trust launching as a spot ETF on NYSE Arca .
Key Pressure: A leverage flush wiped $17.2M in longs** as open interest dropped 20% . Binance data shows **72% of traders are short**, with one whale holding a **$44.9M short underwater by ~$22M .
Technical Levels: Support sits at $1,100–$1,123, with a deeper zone at $1,001–$1,064 . Resistance is $1,159** (immediate), then **$1,195–$1,290 . RSI has cooled to 62 from overbought, keeping the daily trend bullish .
Binance Trade Setup: A cautious long if $ZEC holds $1,100** and breaks **$1,159 with volume, targeting $1,200–$1,290, stop below **$1,080**. If $1,100 breaks, stay flat or short toward $1,000 . DYOR — leverage cuts both ways.
