Zcash (ZCASH) Breaks Out of Descending Trendline, Targeting $55

The crypto markets have experienced a volatile past few weeks as fears over macroeconomics and trade have made investors reassess risky assets. However, the privacy-focused token Zcash (ZEC) appears to be in a recovery period, regaining some of its earlier losses.

On Tuesday, April 1, Zcash continued its rally, increasing in price by 3.00%. This brought the token to $39.62, continuing the gains from the past week. Specifically, Zcash managed to break out of the descending trendline that began forming after reaching its highs in December of last year. Currently, this level is around $35, which Zcash managed to break out of last week. Thanks to this move, analysts expect a rally targeting a price between the recent highs and the breakout point.

This rally also helped Zcash recover a significant portion of the losses it experienced earlier this month when it dropped to a low of $28.13. The token has bounced back from the horizontal line at $30 twice now, once in early February, and later in early March. This level, now serving as a support, was a short-term resistance before last year’s fourth-quarter rally.

As for what’s next for Zcash, analysts are keeping an eye on several key price levels to determine the next move. The short-term price target is somewhere around the $55 level. However, longer-term performance will depend on several factors, including both macroeconomics and demand for the token.

The privacy-focused coins have historically been less volatile than the rest of the markets but have also seen less upside. One of the reasons for this is the potential regulatory challenges with tokens that obscure transactions. Zcash, for example, has faced challenges regarding exchange listings. For instance, OKX (formerly known as OKEx) delisted Zcash and Monero in December 2023, citing regulatory issues.

Without access to major exchanges, these tokens rely on a smaller pool of traders. However, their utility for a dedicated group of users also shields them from major price declines in the future. This suggests that Zcash is likely to experience slow and steady growth in 2025, reaching the $60 to $75 range.
