Source Fxstreet
  • Zcash price extends its gains on Monday after surging by more than 47% the previous week.
  • Derivatives data signals sustained bullish momentum, with Open Interest reaching a new all-time high of $1.13 billion and long positions climbing to a monthly peak.
  • The technical analysis supports the bullish case, with ZEC targeting levels above $750.

Zcash (ZEC) price continues its strong upward momentum, trading above $680 at the time of writing on Monday, building on last week’s 47% rally. Derivatives market data show growing bullish sentiment, with Open Interest (OI) soaring to a new all-time high of $1.13 billion and long positions hitting a monthly peak. The technical analysis further supports the bullish outlook, with ZEC poised to target levels above $750 if the momentum persists.

Zcash’s derivatives data shows bullish bias

CoinGlass’ data shows that ZEC futures OI at exchanges rose to a new all-time high of $1.13 billion on Monday. Rising OI represents new or additional money entering the market and new buying, which could fuel the current ZEC price rally.
