$603 ZEC, do you dare to buy?

Just today, ZEC dropped 8% from its high, with 24-hour trading volume exploding to $960 million—more than double the usual. Some panic sell, others quietly accumulate. The SEC investigation is over, institutions are making high-profile moves, and the shielding pool hit a new all-time high, yet the price actually fell.
First look at the surface: monthly increase of 71%, annual increase of 1000%, market cap surged to $10 billion, ranked 11th.
You open your account, unrealized gains shrink significantly, and someone in the group starts shouting “Privacy coins are finished.” The candlestick chart tells you: the previous rally was too strong, profit-taking is happening, and a short-term shakeout is needed. But the medium-term upward channel remains intact, with the all-time high of 744 just overhead.
First thing: SEC investigation is over, institutions are here.
After two years of investigation, the SEC finally said: “It’s nothing, everyone disperse.”
Now DCG founder Barry Silbert personally calls for “the start of the privacy era,” Multicoin discloses heavy holdings, and Grayscale products continue to attract funds. The regulatory cloud has cleared, and institutional money is truly flowing in.
Second thing: 30% of ZEC has entered the shielding pool, setting a record.
Over 4.9 million ZEC are now completely anonymous. The NU7 upgrade is about to go live, increasing shielding transaction speed by 300%; in June, a “quantum-recoverable wallet” will be released, aiming for quantum resistance by 2027.
Third thing: a key technical signal has appeared.
Today’s volume drop, short-term RSI weakening, with 540-560 as a strong support zone. Some analysts see a “reverse head and shoulders” pattern on the daily chart—if 540 holds and volume recovers, reclaiming 638, the next stop is the 744 all-time high. But what if it falls below 540? Then look for a bottom at 490.
One side:
- SEC investigation over, regulatory headwinds gone
- Institutions making high-profile moves, DCG, Multicoin investing real money
- Shielding pool at 30%, a new high, real demand is exploding
- Monthly increase of 71%, the medium-term super bull market pattern remains unbroken
The other side:
- Today’s 8% drop, short-term profit-taking
- BTC fluctuating around 76k, market Fear index at 38
- Traceable addresses may amplify FUD
- Once 540 is lost, the short-term outlook will be grim
Key level: 603, only 10% away from strong support at 540.
Resistance above: 638 → 650 → 700 → 744 (all-time high)
Support below: 540 (strong support, multiple bounces) → 490 (stop-loss line)
Short-term traders:
Wait for a pullback to the 540-560 range to buy in stages, with a stop-loss below 490. First target 638, second target 700-744.
Swing traders:
Wait for a daily volume recovery above 620 or RSI entering oversold (<30) before entering. Targets 744-800, don’t get shaken out.
Long-term believers:
Below 600 is a strategic accumulation zone. The privacy narrative is just beginning in 2026; ZEC is the only privacy coin that handles both “regulation + technology.” Target over 1000, but sell if it falls below 490—don’t hold through the pain.
ZEC right now is like DOGE in 2020—
99% of people think “privacy coins will eventually zero out,” but after the SEC’s case closure and institutional influx, you realize: it’s not that they can’t succeed, it’s that you can’t hold on. #股票交易挑战最高赢17000U #美军打击伊朗 $BTC $ETH $ZEC
