That is above the market median of 44, so ZEC has held up better than most coins over the last few days. ZEC RSI would have to fall 22 points to turn oversold, or rise 18 points to turn overbought.
Zcash RCI and short-term trend
Zcash RCI(9) is +53.3 (weak up): recent closes have been rising more often than falling, but not consistently enough to call it a strong trend.
Zcash price action this week
ZEC is 0.0% over the last hour, −2.6% over 24 hours, −4.9% over 7 days and −16.8% over 30 days. Its 7-day closing range runs from $1,145 to $1,354, and at $1,270 it sits 60% of the way up that range.
Zcash vs Bitcoin
Over 7 days ZEC has underperformed Bitcoin by 0.2 percentage points (−4.9% against −4.7% for BTC), and over 30 days it has underperformed by 13.4 points (−16.8% against −3.4%). A typical ZEC day moves ±4.9% against ±1.4% for Bitcoin, so ZEC is about 3.5× as volatile and usually exaggerates Bitcoin's moves.
Zcash all-time high and recovery
The Zcash all-time high is $3,192, reached on 28 Oct 2016, 3,652 days ago. To get back to that record, ZEC would need to rise 151% from here. 26 of 112 tracked coins are closer to their own ATH, which ranks ZEC 27th on the ATH ranking.
Zcash in the four-year cycle
Zcash set its all-time high on 28 Oct 2016, in the cycle that peaked around the turn of 2018, and has not beaten it in the current cycle that began with the Bitcoin halving of 20 Apr 2024. That record is now 10.0 years old. Only 55 of 112 tracked coins have set a new all-time high since that halving.
Zcash volatility and trading volume
A typical day moves ZEC about ±4.9%, wilder than the median coin's ±3.3%, so a one-day swing beyond ±9.7% would be unusual for it. Zcash traded $678.4M in the last 24 hours, 3.1% of its $21.61B market cap.
About Zcash
Zcash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency launched in 2016. It uses zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) so shielded transactions hide sender, receiver and amount, and like Bitcoin it is mined and capped at 21 million coins.
What moves the Zcash price
ZEC trades on interest in financial privacy, shielded-pool adoption and exchange listing decisions, since some venues restrict privacy coins. It has a long history of sharp rallies after years of decline.
