While some analysts point to the first \u201cconstructive signs\u201d in months, others warn of potential signs of exhaustion.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">ZEC 110% Rally Faces Key Barrier<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Zcash has been among the crypto market leaders amid the recent volatility, rallying more than 21% over the past week and 110% over the past 30 days. Throughout May, the cryptocurrency has jumped from the $350 barrier to reclaim the $670 area, reaching a six-month high of $690 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amid this performance, market observer Ali Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2057272161560129687?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">highlighted<\/a> a multi-month horizontal channel that has been forming since October between the $192 and $698 level. After retesting the channel\u2019s bottom in March, ZEC has jumped roughly 250% toward the upper zone of the channel, nearing a retest of the macro resistance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The analyst affirmed that the next step \u201cis seeing whether buyers step in hard enough to force a breakout\u201d from the crucial resistance zone. Nonetheless, he noted that Zcash may be showing signs of exhaustion as it approaches the \u201csame resistance zone that triggered a major rejection back in November,\u201d between $700 and $730.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the post, ZEC\u2019s TD Sequential is currently flashing a sell signal on the weekly chart while momentum indicators \u201care starting to look stretched again,\u201d making it an important setup to watch.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-897234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HI11mX8WkAAz6BD.png?w=688&amp;resize=688%2C860\" alt=\"Zcash\" width=\"688\" height=\"860\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 250% move from the bottom to the top of the channel was anticipated by a TD Sequential buy signal on the weekly chart, Martinez noted, asserting that the correction could be more significant since the sell signal has appeared in the weekly timeframe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">He suggested that Zcash could see a 25% correction toward the $500 area as the initial target, adding that a 45% drop toward the $380 support may follow if a deeper retracement occurs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSo, while both HYPE and Zcash remain in strong uptrends, they are also entering zones where risk increases significantly,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Zcash Shows \u2018Constructive Signs\u2019<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the price holds the December highs as support in the weekly timeframe, analyst Rekt Capital <a href=\"https:\/\/newsletter.rektcapital.co.uk\/altcoin-market-update-144\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">pointed<\/a> out that Zcash is \u201cshowing initial Bull Flag tendencies similar to what developed a few weeks prior, with positive pressure building at $528.951.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Market observer affirmed that the recent performance is \u201cthe first opportunity to see whether ZEC can hold these levels in a durable way,\u201d adding that \u201cso far the early signs are constructive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Continuing to hold this area would go against the prior failed retest and suggest a real shift in market dynamics, with buyers willing to accumulate here. He explained that if Zcash continues to retest the $698 resistance and produces shallower rejections, it would signal that the $700 physiological barrier is weakening, which could, over time, open the path for price discovery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nonetheless, he noted that price stability at current levels is crucial, and continued weekly closes above the $530 area would confirm the shift in market dynamics from last year\u2019s attempt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the monthly timeframe, Rekt Capital affirmed that a close above $514 is also critical, as it marks the three-month resistance zone that capped its breakout attempts between late 2025 and early 2026. \u201cA Monthly Close above it, followed by a successful retest as new support, would be a compelling setup,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-897233\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ZECUSDT_2026-05-21_13-40-04.png?w=860&amp;resize=860%2C563\" alt=\"zcash, ZEC, ZECUSDT\" width=\"860\" height=\"563\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zcash (ZEC) has surged to its highest level since 2025, but the rally is now approaching a major technical barrier.
