$ZEC 🛡️ ZEC's $420 Privacy Push: Reclaiming the December Peak

Zcash (ZEC), currently trading at $375, is pushing toward the critical $420 resistance level, representing a 12% short-term upside. This $420 mark is a vital technical "anchor"; search data confirms it is the primary line of defense for the current trend, with a high-volume break needed to invalidate the recent 43% monthly correction and restart the rally toward the yearly high of $750. Reclaiming $420 would effectively flip a major psychological barrier that has acted as a ceiling for several recent breakout attempts.

The momentum is fueled by a powerful fundamental resurgence in late 2025. Zcash is transitioning from a "forgotten relic" to a top-tier asset due to the November 2025 Halving, which slashed daily supply, and new technical upgrades like the Orchard protocol, which cut shielded transaction fees by 30%. Furthermore, recent SEC roundtables and Grayscale’s endorsement of ZEC as a "dollar hedge" have boosted institutional confidence. To hit $420, ZEC must first decisively reclaim the $400 support floor. A successful breach of $420 would clear the path for a move toward the next major resistance cluster at $445–$462.
