Don’t blindly bottom-fish under a short-side structure! ZEC 4-hour chart breakdown

The price started falling from the 588.75 high point and entered a downward channel. A four-hour short-term bearish trend has been established; this round has again broken down, and the short-side structure remains in place.
Support: 463.36 (recent low) / 438.04 (key support of the prior base)
Resistance: 495.02 (recent closing price) / 504.81 (EMA7) / 515.81 (EMA21)

In the short-term range of 438—495, only if a pullback holds above 504 can the bearish rhythm be alleviated. A valid breakdown below 463.36 will further open downside space, looking toward the 438 area.
Current price is inside the downward channel; don’t rush to guess the bottom. Wait for pullback resistance to stall or for signs of stabilization near the lows before taking action. Set stop-loss strictly and keep an eye on market sentiment at the same time.


The technical structure has already formed a clear descending channel. Once a trend forms, it tends to reinforce itself; within a bearish structure, resistance levels are far more reliable than supports, and support is easy for shorts to break through.

In an environment where the mainstream market continues to weaken, altcoins and anonymous coins will likely face pressure as well. If BTC and ETH continue adjusting downward, ZEC is likely to keep falling, and the profit/loss ratio from going against the trend to bottom-fish is not favorable.
