This Is How Zcash May Be In For A Breakout Rally

Source Beincrypto

Zcash price has shown renewed strength after weeks of sideways movement and unclear direction. Recent investor behavior points to growing confidence, with accumulation picking up across several metrics. 

These bullish signals may act as a catalyst, helping ZEC break out of consolidation and establish a clearer trend in the near term.

Zcash Whales Attempt To Push Price Up

Market sentiment around Zcash is improving as technical indicators flash early bullish signals. The Chaikin Money Flow indicator is forming a bullish divergence on the charts. While the ZEC price has continued to post lower lows, the CMF has produced a lower high, signaling hidden accumulation.

This divergence suggests that capital inflows are not yet fully reflected in price action. The CMF recently climbed above the zero line, confirming a shift toward net inflows. Historically, such setups often precede upward price moves, indicating Zcash may be preparing for a recovery rally.

Macro momentum further supports the bullish case. On-chain data shows increased activity from large holders. Addresses holding more than $1 million worth of ZEC have been steadily accumulating over the past week, reinforcing the signal seen in momentum indicators.

Whale holdings have risen by approximately 6.7% during this period. While the pace of accumulation remains measured, consistency matters more than speed. Sustained buying by large investors often provides a stable foundation for price appreciation, especially when broader market conditions remain supportive.

ZEC Price Breakout On The Cards

Zcash price trades near $396 at the time of writing after slipping below the $405 support level. The altcoin continues to move within a triangle pattern, suggesting compression before a larger move. Given improving sentiment and accumulation trends, a bullish breakout appears increasingly likely.

A decisive move above the $450 resistance would confirm the breakout. Such strength could lift ZEC toward $504, marking a clear escape from the pattern. Continued momentum may then push the price toward $540, allowing Zcash to recover much of its recent decline.

However, risks remain on the downside. If whale sentiment shifts and selling pressure emerges, the bullish thesis would weaken. A breakdown below the triangle would invalidate the setup. Under that scenario, ZEC could slide toward $340, reflecting renewed distribution and loss of near-term momentum.
