TradingKey – ZEC’s breakout to a new yearly high may trigger a wave of capital rotation amid market panic.

On Saturday, October 11, the crypto market experienced a sharp selloff, with nearly all major tokens plunging. In stark contrast, Zcash (ZEC) surged 18.83%, reaching an intraday high of $275, setting a fresh high for the year.

Over the past 24 hours:

  • Bitcoin (BTC) dropped more than 8%, currently rebounding near $110,000

  • Binance Coin (BNB) fell more than 13%, currently priced at $1,101

The broad decline triggered widespread liquidations, leaving investors rattled. Yet ZEC’s strong upside move stands out, forming a sharp contrast to the rest of the market. This divergence may attract sidelined capital, potentially fueling further gains as traders seek refuge in outperforming assets.
