Zcash (ZEC) Price Faces Uphill Battle to Close Gap With November Peak

Zcash price is struggling to regain its bullish momentum after a steep decline that pushed the altcoin below $350 earlier this week. 

While ZEC has shown minor signs of stabilization, its broader trend remains weak, and the distance from November’s highs leaves a significant recovery challenge ahead.

Zcash Is Lacking On All Fronts

The RSI indicates that Zcash continues to face persistent bearish pressure. The indicator remains in the negative zone, reflecting a lack of upward momentum and highlighting that buyers are not yet regaining control. This signals that broader market conditions are not aligned with a meaningful rebound.

Unless the RSI improves, ZEC may struggle to attract fresh demand.

The bearish sentiment is reinforced by declining participation across the market, with risk appetite remaining low. ZEC’s failure to push back toward key resistance levels in recent sessions suggests traders are prioritizing safer assets while waiting for clearer signals.

The CMF shows persistent outflows, highlighting a decline in investor confidence. Capital continues leaving ZEC, and the indicator remains firmly in the negative zone. This pattern is concerning because Zcash is already lacking broader market support, and sustained outflows could prevent any meaningful rally. For ZEC to regain strength, inflows must return.

Given the current macro backdrop, ZEC’s path to recovery appears challenging. Market volatility remains high, and investors are cautious amid fear-driven activity. Without a shift in sentiment, ZEC may find it difficult to build the momentum required to revisit higher levels.

ZEC Price Has A Long Way To Go

ZEC is trading at $363 at the time of writing, sitting just above the $344 support level. Holding this support is essential for any near-term recovery attempt toward $442. However, revisiting November’s highs remains a distant objective.

If bearish conditions persist, ZEC could fail to hold its support, potentially falling below $344 again and sliding to $300 or even $260. Such a move would extend the current downtrend and deepen investor concerns.

Conversely, a shift in investor sentiment could support a recovery. Yet even in that scenario, ZEC would need to rally by 101% to reclaim its November peak near $750. That would require flipping $442 into support and climbing toward $520, which remains a substantial challenge for the altcoin’s current momentum.
