Over the past month, ZEC's more than 200% gain has been driven primarily by the launch of Zashi CrossPay, updates from ThORSwap, and renewed market interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies.

From a technical perspective, ZEC is encountering selling pressure around $180, with several consecutive days of long upper wicks indicating resistance. This is likely to curb further upside in the near term, with expectations of continued consolidation to the downside and a possible correction toward the $120 level.
