ZEC SWEPT $1,680—NOW SELLERS ARE TESTING THE FLOOR.

The latest confirmed ZECUSDT H1 Futures candle closed at $1,478.31. My primary bias is BEARISH, but the next entry still needs proof.

Three clues:

1️⃣ The push into $1,679.98 failed to hold above the $1,600–$1,654 range: a potential Wyckoff Buying Climax, not a confirmed distribution phase.
2️⃣ H1 bearish displacement broke $1,600. The $1,540.35 rebound then failed to reclaim the lost structure; SMC now shows lower highs.
3️⃣ The initial markdown printed 303K ZEC volume, about 4.3× its preceding 20-hour average. The latest sell candle rose to 146.8K, about 1.9× its preceding average.

The $1,478 swing low is the immediate gate. Price has wicked to $1,455, but $1,478.31 is still a close ABOVE that gate.

🔴 CONDITIONAL SHORT
Trigger: H1 close BELOW $1,478, then a failed retest.
Entry: $1,508–$1,518, only on bearish rejection.
SL: $1,543, above the $1,540.35 lower high.
TP1: $1,455 (1.9R)
TP2: $1,443.73 (2.3R)
Thesis invalidation: H1 close above $1,543.

STATUS: BEARISH BIAS — NO ENTRY YET.

Shorting now means pressing into $1,455–$1,443 demand while the trigger is unconfirmed. Let the candle close, then judge the retest; if ZEC falls without offering entry, let it go.

Will sellers turn the next rebound into a failed retest—or lose control of broken support? 👀
