*What’s happening*:
ZEC pumped hard from $535 to $671 between May 17-20, then dumped 12% yesterday and another 9.4% today. Looks like profit-taking after a 100% monthly run.
*Key levels*:
- *Resistance*: $665-$670. Rejected there twice in last 3 days.
- *Support*: $580-$585 held today. Break it and $535 from May 17 is next.
- *Trend*: Still up on 30d, but 4h shows lower highs since May 20.
*Short setup*:
Sell rips to $650-$665 with stop above $670. Targets $590, $580, $535.
*Long setup*: Only if daily close above $670 with volume. Target $700+.
*Risk*: ZEC is volatile and follows BTC closely. BTC dropped 2.6% today, so ZEC got hit harder. Low liquidity on some pairs = big wicks.
