3 Privacy Coins To Watch For The End Of October

by

So, privacy coins are having a moment-finally. Traders are whispering about some mystical “privacy coin supercycle” that’s got everyone in a frenzy. After taking a nap for a few years, these tokens-built to hide your transactions like a secret agent-are skyrocketing. One of them even surged by 350% in just 30 days. Yep, you read that right. It’s like the privacy coin equivalent of a “where have you been all my life?” moment.

With regulators tightening the leash on on-chain transparency (because, apparently, we all need to know what everyone’s up to), traders are flocking to these privacy gems like moths to a flame. Let’s take a look at three of them that have been gaining serious momentum and might just have enough juice left to keep climbing-like an over-caffeinated squirrel.

Zcash (ZEC)

The 350% surge? That’s Zcash (ZEC) making its big comeback. One of the oldest privacy coins, Zcash lets users make transactions as private as a hidden password with zero-knowledge proofs. Basically, you send and receive crypto while keeping things more secretive than your grandma’s secret recipe.

Recently, Zcash hit a four-year high at over $297-basically running up like a kid who just discovered sugar. But, of course, there was a minor cool-down, a slight 18% correction. And now it’s playing the waiting game.

Between October 7 and October 16, Zcash’s price formed a higher low, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI)-basically a gauge to see if something is too hot to handle or totally cold-formed a lower low. This is what we call a “hidden bullish divergence,” which usually means it’s just taking a breather before it climbs even higher. So, don’t be surprised if ZEC gets its second wind soon.

To confirm the comeback, Zcash has to reclaim $246 and then soar above $297. If it does that, we’re talking $312, $342, and maybe even $438 if it’s feeling extra spicy. But, if it falls below $186? Well, let’s just say it could be a case of “oops, not today, ZEC.” Watch closely, my friend. The next move is anyone’s guess.

Dash (DASH)

Next up is Dash (DASH), the privacy coin that lets you mix your transactions like a secret cocktail. Launched as a Bitcoin fork, Dash now lets you keep things low-key without looking like you’re hiding from the law. The coin has been around for a while, but it’s still making waves like an old-school rock band coming back for a reunion tour.

DASH has shot up nearly 83% in the last 30 days-before recently cooling off by 24.8%. Sounds familiar, right? A little too much celebration, a little too soon. But this dip might just be part of the greater plan, like a plot twist in a movie that we didn’t see coming.

Dash had this breakout (don’t you love a good breakout?) out of a flag and pole pattern (yes, I said flag and pole-because why not?). This structure was pointing toward a target of $66. But, as with any wild ride, it settled for $61. And now a new flag and pole pattern (yes, again) is forming, suggesting Dash is just stretching before the next big breakout.

Once it breaks above $43, expect Dash to go on a rollercoaster to $94. That is, unless it takes a nosedive below $38-then we might be talking about a whole different scenario. The Dash story? Complicated, but fascinating.

Railgun (RAIL)

And finally, we have Railgun (RAIL). If privacy coins were a high school clique, Railgun would be the overachiever-always raising its hand, always outperforming. This Ethereum-based token is using zk-SNARKs (yes, zk-SNARKs!) to keep its transactions, swaps, and DeFi actions private. If this sounds like some sort of cryptographic wizardry, it’s because it totally is.

RAIL surged by nearly 184% in the last 30 days and is still showing some serious signs of life. But like all good stories, it’s had its hiccups, with a modest 8.1% pullback. But fear not, it’s bounced back with a solid 5.2% gain in the past 24 hours. That’s a good sign, right?

Let’s talk numbers. Smart wallets have increased their holdings by 21%, whales are hoarding 35%, and public figures? They’re up 2%. Basically, everyone’s jumping on the RAIL bandwagon. Even the exchanges are up 4.7%, because, well, retail traders need a little bit of fun, too. But for the rest of the crypto world? Confidence is soaring.

The price is moving inside a falling wedge pattern-because every good coin needs a good pattern. If RAIL breaks above $3.04, it could hit $3.53 and, if it’s feeling feisty, $5.61. But if it doesn’t, and we close below $2.24? We’re talking about a potential dip to $1.20. No pressure, Railgun. But we’re watching.

For now, Railgun is standing tall, looking like one of the strongest privacy tokens out there. Will it keep its momentum? Only time (and more chart patterns) will tell.
