$ZEC Inner OS: When I was accumulating, you criticized me for being slow; when I was rising, you chased high and got buried. This batch of retail investors is really hard to lead!
From the latest ZEC intraday monitoring, the direction of the dealer continues to maintain a 'bullish' position, and the dominant trend has not changed, indicating that this round is still a rising cycle controlled by the dealer, just that the pace has switched from a significant rise to a 'sideway accumulation and fluctuation' relay stage.
The dealer's actions show 'accumulating, but the market may be quite volatile.' This sentence is crucial, representing that it is not simply a one-step rise, but rather using intervals to repeatedly fluctuate, washing out the floating chips from those who followed the trend earlier, while slowly accumulating at several price levels below, raising their own holding costs.
Looking at the data from the 1-hour time frame, below
318.69-338.62
332.62-340.73
390.40-404.00
The third tier is a typical capital accumulation range, which can be understood as the dealer's layered building position: the lower it goes, the better the cost performance, this is the position where large funds are hiding early on. The middle layer is the main battlefield for the current repeated fluctuations and washing. The 390-404 tier is more inclined to be a 'high-level accumulation zone' during strong pullbacks. Each time the price retraces to these areas, as long as there is no significant volume breaking through but rather a decrease in volume during the pullback, and a rise in volume afterward, it indicates that the dealer's willingness to support is strong and the bullish structure remains solid. Conversely, once any tier is continuously broken with increasing volume and cannot be quickly recovered, one should be alert to the dealer's temporary reduction in willingness to raise prices, and the market rhythm may shift from 'strong fluctuating upward' to 'deeper level adjustment.'
Look upward
445.89-457.46
460.94-470.59
This is the current monitoring provided short-selling suppression zone, which can basically be regarded as the target position and pressure zone for this phase of the market. The chips acquired below these zones earlier will have a strong impulse to take profits when arriving here. Coupled with some contrarian short-sellers choosing to attempt to short at these price levels, it is easy to see a surge in volume, long upper shadows, false breakouts, and back-and-forth movements. For the dealer, this is an ideal 'pull and exchange' zone, but for ordinary traders, if they chase up here, they are likely to be pressed back into the accumulation zone as soon as they get in.
Also, because the overall structure is 'bullish accumulation + fluctuating washing', the trading suggestion will be 'look for long opportunities', but risk control simultaneously emphasizes 'control position, small positions', which means the direction should view positively, but the position must be light to avoid being frequently washed out in this fluctuating market: strategically, it is more suitable to treat several accumulation zones as low buy-in zones. When the price drops close to 390-404, a small position can be tested first. If the price can really retrace to 332-340 or even 318-338, and if one can see moderate transaction volume, gradually lengthening lower shadows, and active buying support at the market, then gradually increase the position to spread the overall cost near the dealer's main cost area. At the same time, set a clear defensive line for one's position, for example, if it breaks below the outer edge of the lowest accumulation zone, decisively reduce the position or stop loss, determining it is a dealer's temporary retreat and not an ordinary washout. Upward, regard 445-457, 460-470 as zones for taking profit in batches. When it first rushes to these two intervals, even if there is still space afterward, it is also advisable to gradually lock in some profits, raising the stop loss to breakeven or even a profit position, allowing the remaining position to be held 'for free'. Thus, even if the dealer chooses to pull up again above the suppression zone, it is still earning floating profits, rather than using principal to gamble with the dealer for the final push.
Overall, the current ZEC is in a fluctuating accumulation phase under a bullish trend, with the direction upward but the process inevitably being tedious. The best response strategy is to avoid contrarian shorts, not to impulsively chase up at high levels, but rather to lightly buy around the accumulation zone and plan to take profits systematically in the suppression zone, following the dealer's rhythm with discipline rather than being led by emotions. The above is my personal interpretation of the monitoring data, for reference only, and does not constitute any investment advice.
