Brothers, I am Anna. Let's analyze today's ZEC 1-hour candlestick chart directly — this trend resembles a carefully designed 'bull-bear tug of war.' The price briefly surged to $469.8 (the highest point in 24 hours) in the morning but then quickly fell back to the current $459.3, leaving a long upper shadow. This kind of surge and fall pattern is commonly referred to in the circle as a 'test shot,' indicating heavy selling pressure above and short-term weakness in bulls.
1. Anna analyzes ZEC news:
First chart: Major cost chart. The current price is around $457, tightly supported by multiple green moving averages, with key support at $445. What does this mean? The cost zone for major institutions is right here! They have been oscillating around this position, and once the price stabilizes above $470 with volume, it means the major players have sounded the charge.
Second figure: Whale Position Chart. Even more explosive! Several large holders are using 5x and 10x leverage to go long, with one position already showing a profit of over 108%! Whales are not fools; they dare to play this way because they sense the same momentum as the main forces—large funds are quietly positioning themselves, waiting for the opportunity to rise.
Anna's viewpoint is very clear: When the main force's controlling cost area resonates with the whales' leveraged long positions, the market often undergoes a qualitative change. It's like a certain altcoin last week; after a similar chart structure appeared, it experienced a 30% independent trend within a week.
What should players do?
Follow the trend, not the price: Don't rush to chase highs; focus on whether the price can break the $470 resistance level with volume, as that would be the real signal to start.
Plan your trades: If it dips back to the $455-$445 support zone and does not break below, consider gradually positioning, setting the stop-loss below the support level.
Keep an eye on the whales: Pay attention to those addresses of large holders that are making significant profits. If they continue to increase their positions instead of taking profits, it is a strong bullish signal.
Figure 3: SEC Roundtable Meeting on December 15, Positive News for Privacy Coins Zooko will attend the SEC roundtable meeting on December 15 to discuss ZK technology, which could become a catalyst for the privacy coin sector. Do you think ZEC can leverage this to break through $500? Anna will help you uncover the truth behind the K-line! The market is born from despair and rises in harmony. Pay attention to @南安娜sol , guiding you to the core of altcoins! The main force has already set the table, and the whales have taken their seats; will you follow? Or will you be dragged down by the market for a second bottom test? Let's discuss your judgment in the comments!
2. Anna analyzes ZEC from a technical perspective:
Comparison of cases to see the uniqueness of ZEC:
Yesterday, EOS declined by 5% in a shrinking volume environment, while ZEC managed to withstand the selling pressure against the trend, backed by the fundamentals of the privacy track. For example, Zcash co-founder Zooko has promoted the launch of the Phreeli privacy phone service, which uses zero-knowledge proof technology and directly attracts the market's attention to ZEC. Such practical applications provide a foundation that simple speculative coins do not possess.
Anna's viewpoint is very clear:
ZEC is at a critical watershed today, with a directional choice about to unfold. From a technical perspective, although the MACD is above the zero line, the red bars are shrinking, indicating a decrease in short-term momentum; the RSI is around 67, close to overbought but not out of control. If it cannot stabilize above the $470 resistance area, the risk of a pullback will increase. However, on-chain data shows a glimmer of hope: ZEC's shielded pool assets have recently surged from 2.66 million to 4.98 million, indicating real growth in privacy demand, which may be the cornerstone of long-term value.
Anna gives players operational thinking, focusing on two positions:
Upper level of $470: If it breaks through with volume, it can target as high as $500;
Lower level of $394 (24-hour low): If it breaks below, be wary of a deep correction to the $370-$380 support zone.
If you don't know the specific entry timing and exit points, and for those holding positions, you can pay attention to @南安娜sol . Anna will announce the daily coins and entry points as well as exit points on Anna Altcoin 24/7!
Current market sentiment is severely polarized: The Fed's dot plot shows only one rate cut within 2026, and short-term funds are leaning towards caution, but ZEC's 24-hour turnover rate has reached 19.01%, indicating that active funds are still competing in the market. It is recommended that short-term players reduce chasing highs and focus on BTC's market movements—if BTC falls below $90,000, altcoins are likely to face collective pressure.
The financial market has no tears; pay attention to @南安娜sol as Anna teaches you to see the cracks in the altcoin market! She will teach you practical survival skills.
