    ZEC slips as broader market recovers<\/h2>\n

    ZEC, the native coin of the Zcash ecosystem, is down by 3.5% in the last 24 hours, making it one of the worst performers among the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market cap.<\/span><\/p>\n

    It is trading at $241 per coin, down from the $257 recorded on Tuesday. The bearish performance comes amid a decline in Zcash\u2019s derivatives data.<\/span><\/p>\n

    According to <\/span>CoinGlass<\/span>, ZEC\u2019s futures\u2019 Open Interest (OI) reads $438 million, down from the $473 million recorded on Tuesday, reflecting the decreased notional value of open contracts. <\/span>
    <\/span>Typically, an OI decline during a dip in spot price reaffirms the bearish narrative as traders anticipate further recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Technical outlook: Will Zcash price recover above $250 soon?<\/h2>\n

    The ZEC\/USD 4-hour chart is bullish but inefficient as Zcash\u2019s price faced rejection above the $250 psychological level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    It is currently trading below its 50-day EMA of $248c, suggesting that the bulls failed to take advantage of the recent rally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Despite that, the near-term bias is cautiously bullish as ZEC holds above the recent lows, while remaining capped beneath the long-standing descending resistance line.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If the bulls regain control and ZEC\u2019s daily candle closes above $250, it would confirm the upside breakout and open the path toward the 200-day EMA at $274, followed by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $362.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line has turned higher above the signal line and moved back into positive territory on the 4-hour chart, suggesting strengthening upside pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

    The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 61 reinforces the recovery of bullish momentum without signaling overbought conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    On the downside, if the rejection candle holds, ZEC could drop towards the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $231, followed by the rising trendline near the $200 psychological support level.<\/span><\/p>\n
