    Zcash extends losses despite renewed ETF buying<\/h2>\n

    Zcash continued to fall on Thursday as inflation concerns weighed on the broader cryptocurrency market, overshadowing a return to inflows into Grayscale\u2019s Zcash-focused exchange-traded fund.<\/span><\/p>\n

    ZEC traded around $1,094 at the time of the report, extending the previous day\u2019s roughly 6% loss. The decline brought the privacy coin below last week\u2019s $1,115 low, although a sustained four-hour close beneath that level remained important for confirming a breakdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The latest selling extends a correction from Zcash\u2019s late-September peak of $1,698. With momentum indicators still pointing lower, attention has shifted toward whether buyers can prevent a deeper retreat toward $1,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The US Consumer Price Index showed annual inflation of 3.7%, exceeding expectations of 3.6%, according to the supplied report.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The stronger reading increased concerns about persistent inflation and the possibility of further interest rate hikes, weakening appetite for cryptocurrencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Bitcoin\u2019s vulnerability around $80,000 added to the cautious backdrop. Further weakness in the largest cryptocurrency could intensify selling across altcoins, including Zcash.<\/span><\/p>\n

    These macroeconomic pressures have limited the impact of improved demand through ZEC investment products, leaving the token under pressure despite Wednesday\u2019s positive fund flows.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Grayscale\u2019s ZCSH attracts $3.68 million<\/h2>\n

    Grayscale\u2019s Zcash-focused fund, ZCSH, recorded <\/span>$3.68 million in inflows on Wednesday,<\/span> according to SoSoValue data cited in the report.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The inflows ended two consecutive days of withdrawals, which followed two weeks of net outflows. The reversal offered an early indication of renewed demand through the product.<\/span><\/p>\n

    However, a single positive session does not establish a sustained recovery in investor appetite. Zcash\u2019s continued spot-market decline suggests the buying was insufficient to overcome broader selling pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Whether ZCSH can attract further inflows will help determine if Wednesday\u2019s improvement develops into a more durable trend.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Zcash tests support below $1,115<\/h2>\n

    Zcash\u2019s four-hour chart retains a bearish bias, with the price trading well below two important moving averages.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The 50-period Exponential Moving Average stands near $1,242, while the 200-period EMA sits around $1,264. Together, they form an overhead resistance zone that could complicate recovery attempts.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Momentum indicators reinforce the weak outlook. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator and its signal line remain below zero, accompanied by deeply negative histogram bars.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index hovers around 34, indicating subdued momentum while remaining slightly above the conventional oversold threshold of 30.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The immediate technical question is whether ZEC confirms a sustained break below $1,115. A four-hour close beneath that level would strengthen the bearish case and increase the risk of further losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If the breakdown holds, the September 4 high near $1,050 becomes the next downside reference, followed by psychological support at $1,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"ZEC\/USD<\/p>\n

    A failure to defend $1,000 could expose the August 23 high around $888. That deeper target remains conditional on Zcash losing the intervening support levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For buyers, the first significant recovery hurdle is the 50-period EMA at $1,242. Beyond that, the 200-period EMA near $1,264 presents another barrier.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Reclaiming this resistance zone would help ease downside pressure. Until then, weak momentum and broader market uncertainty leave Zcash exposed to further selling, with the $1,115 level central to its immediate direction.<\/span><\/p>\n
