Why has ZEC been rising recently???
$ZEC From a bottom of $300 to $600, it has directly become the most eye-catching player in the entire crypto market. This wave of increase has attracted many institutional investors to increase their holdings, such as well-known ones like: a16z, cb, Ventures; and a bunch of top KOLs have also come out to promote ZEC. It has attracted many retail investors to re-examine this overlooked privacy sector; and has once again been hailed by the market as: "This round of major trend."
Even more surprisingly, despite ZEC's rise, the contract funding rate is actually not negative, but still positive at one-tenth of a percent. This indicates that the short sellers have been exhausted by this wave of rise, and the market is now all long positions. So the key question is: can you short it?
The answer is: Yes!
Reason: ZEC's past pattern is that after a wave of mining machine hype, it will fall sharply and become worthless. The premise is to find the top to short, with past ZEC tops around 700, where you can go in with 1-5x leverage directly on short positions. Do not use excessive leverage! That is taboo.
