Zcash rose about 20% in 24 hours as Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang disclosed that the firm invested in ZEC amid a broader crypto market rally.

I’ve been asked a few times to take a look at ZEC and tune VDS for it, so I finally did. I configured VDS specifically for LONG (BUY) setups on the 4H timeframe. ZEC is currently in an uptrend, and the SELL signals are still too noisy to be useful. So for now, I’m intentionally focusing only on BUY setups. On higher timeframes, there simply isn’t enough history yet to build a setup I’d consider reliable. One thing I find interesting is that the signals become noticeably cleaner as more history develops. The early part of the chart contains significantly more noise, while the more recent BUY signals look much more consistent. That said, I’m personally staying out of ZEC for now. I’ve mentioned before that I think the asset has become heavily hyped and, in my view, looks overheated . So this setup is mostly here because several of you asked me to configure VDS for ZEC, rather than because I’m looking to trade it myself. As more history develops and the hype settles down, we’ll have a much better dataset to evaluate. For now: 4H, LONG only.

Several altcoins have marked major gains today, which is rather unexpected given yesterday's rate hike and CLARITY Act's failure.

Zcash price rallied more than 20% on Sep. 16, breaking above $1,300 as network upgrade optimism helped ZEC resist a broader crypto market sell-off. Zcash price action today According to data from crypto.news, Zcash (ZEC) price traded at approximately $1,337…

That relative strength is particularly conspicuous on a day dominated by the fallout from the CLARITY Act vote.

Zcash is trading around 1,250.95 on the 4H timeframe after bouncing off the ascending trendline near 1,120, now pushing back up toward the range high at 1,280 that has capped price since early September. The broader structure here is a powerful trend that began near 504.50 in late August, with the ascending trendline holding every single pullback along the way as price more than doubled in under a month. Since early September, that advance has slowed into a consolidation between roughly 1,120 and 1,280, with the trendline continuing to rise underneath and now intersecting directly with the lower boundary of this range. This convergence is turning the trendline into the primary support for the entire structure rather than just a secondary confirmation level. Price recently dipped into the 1,120 area, tagging the trendline almost perfectly before reversing sharply higher, and is now back near the top of the range testing 1,280 for what would be several attempts at this level. Key Levels To Watch: → 1,360 Psychological level, next target on a breakout → 1,280 Range high, repeated resistance since early September → 1,250 Current price, approaching range highs → 1,120 Range low, trendline confluence support → 840 Prior consolidation zone, deeper support → 504 Trendline origin, late August low A break and hold above 1,280 confirms the range is resolving to the upside, with 1,360 as the next target and continuation likely given how cleanly the trendline has held throughout this entire move. Rejection from 1,280 keeps price rotating inside the range, with the trendline near 1,120 remaining the level to watch, and a breakdown below it opening a deeper retracement toward the 840 zone. Hold the trendline and ZEC continues building toward a breakout above range highs. Lose it and this consolidation turns into a deeper pullback. Bias stays bullish given the strength and consistency of the trendline throughout this rally, but the reaction at 1,280 is the level that confirms the next leg.

What will the market do now? Will there be a crash or bullish continuation? The chart knows the answer to these questions so, let's ask the chart. ZECUSDT (Zcash) daily technical analysis Notice the fibo level around $1,100. This is the 1.618 extension, the golden ratio. ZECUSDT moved to hit a new all-time high and stopped right above this level. When the retrace occurred, still happening, support was found here. Notice how the action continues above support with a full green candle today. Let's keep it simple, shall we? As long as ZECUSDT trades above $1,000, we can consider this chart setup and trading pair as hyper-bullish; still moving within the price discovery phase, an uptrend, with higher always possible and expected. Only if the uptrend is compromised do we doubt or change, no other way. Since Zcash continues rising, we continue bullish. There is always one or another project moving first, ahead of the pack. We saw this with Hyperliquid recently and now Zcash is going beyond all expectations. What one does, the rest follows. Just as ZECUSDT can continue growing and is challenging resistance once more today; when it broke bullish, the entire market produced a very strong advance. Now that Zcash continues to move higher pushing prices up, we know that Bitcoin and the rest of the altcoins are good for additional growth. Thanks a lot for your continued support. Namaste.
