Zcash (ZEC) Pullback Signals Buying Opportunity Ahead of $600 Resistance

Zcash (ZEC) has been trending upward since late December, rising from lows near $300–$320 to highs around $530–$540. Analyst Eric Van Tassel points out that the cryptocurrency is now reacting to a major higher-timeframe resistance zone between $600 and $700, which previously acted as a distribution area.

According to him, this area is technically significant, as multiple indicators and Fibonacci retracements align here, signaling potential liquidity resets before any sustained move higher.

The recent rally reached the 0.618–0.786 retracement of the larger swing, suggesting sellers are defending this zone aggressively. 

While Zcash remains within a rising structure on the daily timeframe, this confluence of resistance marks a point where a corrective phase is likely before further upward movement.

Zcash Faces Interim Support at $470–$500

The current retraction by ZEC is towards the $470-$500 levels, which are now serving as an intermediate zone. The views by analyst Ardi indicate that this zone is behaving as anticipated since there is provision for liquidity within this range as tests are made around supports.

The failure by Zcash to rejoin the $500-$520 zone may raise possibilities towards a stronger retraction towards the $425-$400 zone.

The $400 level is also critical, given that it has always acted as a demand level. A positive reaction at this point may sustain the overall positive momentum and may lay the foundations for another test at the higher resistance level of $600.

A daily close below the $400 level may indicate deterioration in the higher-low formation and may bring about a move to the base at $350-$320.

Momentum Shows Cooling, Trend Remains Intact

The momentum indicators reflect cooling, but not degenerating momentum. The RSI remains above the mid-line, indicating that the trend is still in place, despite the correction. 

The volume has reduced, as is expected during the phase of correction, and a robust bullish response is needed to confirm the trend.

Both Van Tassel and Ardi emphasize the fact that the structure remains bullish, at least as long as the critical support level is maintained. Ardi calls the current market action a “classic bullish retest, stressing the fact that breaking the $470 support level would be more problematic than the current pullback.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
