*Why is it up +711% from the bottom?*
1️⃣ *ETF Filing:* The Winklevoss twins filed for a Spot ZEC ETF on Nasdaq — sparking institutional FOMO
2️⃣ *NU7 Upgrade:* Activated on testnet; it will reduce block time from 75 to 25 seconds, with mainnet launching on *November 5*
3️⃣ *60% of fees burned:* Starting November 5, all fees will be burned through 2031 — a sharp drop in supply
4️⃣ *THORChain Swaps:* You can now swap ZEC ↔ BTC directly without an intermediary
*Quick technical analysis:*
The price is currently at $1,162, trading below the EMA20 and EMA50 but above the EMA200 — meaning a correction, not a crash. Key resistance is at $1,175. If it closes above that level on the daily chart, we could see $1,240 and $1,450 60ef
*Trading plan:*
If you hold ZEC: Keep a stop below $1,050 (September support) and set a target of $1,450
If you're out of the market: Wait for a break above $1,184 (4h EMA50) or a bounce from $1,000
💬 *What do you think?*
🟢 Long — heading to $1,500 🚀
🔴 Short — the rally is over and a correction is coming 📉
