ZEC Hits $308 Then Dumps Hard: What’s Next for This Breakout?

by

Well folks, hold on to your hats! Zcash (ZEC) has been riding high like a cowboy on a bucking bronco, hitting a lofty $308 before taking a nosedive. As of now, it’s struggling to stay above $240 with a 24-hour trading volume of a mere $730 million-nothing too shabby for a crypto on a rollercoaster ride. 🎢

In case you’ve been living under a rock, ZEC’s been having a good month. It’s up over 460%-that’s not a typo, 460%! But, before you start planning your yacht party, remember, today it’s down a smidgen. It peaked at $308 and dipped as low as $237. A real thrill ride, huh? 🏄‍♂️

Wedge Pattern’s Got ZEC in a Corner

Current charts show ZEC’s been busy making an ascending wedge. For all the non-chart folks, that’s like a mountain slope where the price gets squeezed tighter than a pair of jeans after Thanksgiving dinner. It’s aiming for a resistance zone somewhere between $280 and $313, which just so happens to be where the chart says “You’ve come too far, pal!” ⛰️

If the trading volume decides to get all pumped up like a bodybuilder, it might just push through. But if the volume stays lazy, well, we could see ZEC heading back to the low-support levels of $250 or even $220. No guarantees, though-it’s all in the hands of the market gods. 🙏

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is strutting around at 69-yep, you read that right, 69. It’s just a whisker away from being “overbought” territory, which usually means we might be due for a little cooling-off period. Could a sideways snooze be on the horizon? Maybe. Or maybe it’ll just take a tiny dip before firing back up. We’ll see. 🛋️

Big Breakout, Bigger Expectations

ZEC just completed a major technical breakout-good news for the bulls, bad news for anyone who thinks it’s going to stay a secret. Analyst Javon Marks, the soothsayer of all things crypto, said the breakout ended a year-and-a-half-long slump, and it quickly surged toward the $308 target. That’s a big ol’ win! 🏆

“Another >1,000% callout in the books.”

But wait, there’s more! The second target is a lofty $596.65. Will we see it? Who knows, but it sure sounds nice, doesn’t it? 😏

After the breakout, there’s been low resistance and increased buying volume, but it’s still too early to say if this bull’s gonna keep running or just take a nap in the middle of the road. 🐂

Futures, Futures, and More Futures

In case you weren’t aware, ZEC futures have seen a meteoric rise. Open interest skyrocketed to $306.3 million, up from a mere $50 million just last month. Looks like folks are feeling a bit speculative these days! 🧐

The market sentiment is as mixed as a salad at a BBQ. Some say ZEC’s cooked, like a steak left on the grill too long. Analyst Henry was all like:

“ZEC looks cooked. $311 wick was the exit liquidity.”

Ouch. He thinks that $311 wick was the sweet spot to cash out before ZEC takes a nosedive toward the mid-$240 range. We’ll see if the bulls can pull a rabbit out of their hat, though. 🎩🐇

And just when you think things can’t get any crazier, Zcash’s founder, Zooko, chimed in. He’s basically as confused as the rest of us about this price surge, saying:

“I don’t know why the Zcash price has been skyrocketing. And I don’t know if it is going to go back down.”

Well, that clears everything up, doesn’t it? Zooko also brushed off any talk of market manipulation, calling it “just more cynical propaganda.” So much for a conspiracy theory, huh? 🕵️‍♂️
