ZCash Price Forecast: Why ZEC Could Rally to $479 Soon

Highlights:

• ZCash is in a rebound after bouncing off the $304.46 support 
• Rally off support puts the $479.73 resistance in focus
• Broader market forces and Bitget listing could drive momentum

ZCash (ZEC) appears to have found its footing after days of heavy corrections. At the time of writing, ZCash was trading at $360.01, up by 8.13% in the day. However, ZEC’s intraday rally has been followed by a drop in trading volumes. When writing, ZCash trading volumes stood at $1.35 billion, down by 16.21% in the day. This is an indicator that the average investor is still afraid to buy into ZCash even as the price appears to be regaining upside momentum.

However, it is also a good indicator as it shows that the average ZCash holder may not be looking to sell their ZCash, and expects the price to retest recent highs and potentially rally through them. ZCash’s current price dynamics and a potential rebound back to highs are supported by a number of internal and broader market factors.

ZEC New Exchange Listing Boosts Sentiment

One of the factors likely to push ZCash higher is the growing number of exchanges listing it. The latest exchange to list ZCash for spot trading is Bitget. This is a big deal given that privacy coins are constantly getting delisted for regulatory reasons. ZCash manages to avoid such issues by offering both shielded and non-shielded transactions. As such, it can enjoy the liquidity that comes with major exchanges compared to its competitors in the privacy market.

The ease of access through major exchanges is also a big deal for ZCash in the sense that it gives it an element of legitimacy in the eyes of non-sophisticated investors. The average investor looking to ride the growing privacy narrative may not know how to use decentralized platforms to buy privacy coins. They may also not be comfortable with looking at lower-tier exchanges to access the same.

As such, as long as the privacy narrative remains strong, ZCash could keep going up. That’s because the average investor looking to buy ZCash can access it through the growing number of mainstream exchanges that list it.

Analysts Say ZCash Bottom Is Finally In

ZCash is also getting a boost from technical analysts who believe that, after the recent correction, the bottom is likely in. Analysts are increasingly in consensus that the recent correction that pushed ZCash to the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement has offered solid support, and the price is already bouncing off it.

Analysts also agree that historically, when such a setup forms, swing buyers usually come in and trigger a rally to new highs. The fact that ZCash appears to be rebounding quite strongly from the 0.618 Fib could trigger FOMO that could send ZCash back to its recent highs. 

Such a rebound is also supported by the macro factors. The Federal Reserve has ended QT, and expectations are high that it will cut rates during the upcoming FOMC. As such, the broader cryptocurrency market could continue recording more gains going forward. This is likely to uplift ZCash as well. The fact that ZCash has a strong narrative to ride on, unlike the average altcoin, could help sustain the momentum.

Technical Analysis – ZCash Trending Towards Major Resistance

ZCash has made a strong rebound off the $304.46 support is currently pushing higher. If bulls sustain the momentum built up in the day so far, ZEC could rally to the $479.73 resistance.

On the other hand, if the bulls lose momentum, two scenarios could play out. The first is a consolidation around the $304.46 support. The second is a breach of the $304.46 support, which could see ZCash drop to prices as low as $250. Of these scenarios, the odds are higher for a rally to $479.73. This is due to the new exchange listing and rising bullish sentiment across the market.
