$ZEC Professional Technical Analysis (30M + Higher Timeframe)

Listen carefully.

Most traders panic the moment they hear CPI, CPI, CPI.

They forget one simple truth: price prepares before the news.

And ZEC is already showing that preparation clearly.

What price has already done

Sell-side liquidity has been fully hunted from the lower demand zone

A strong impulsive reclaim followed → clear sign that smart money stepped in

This move was not random — it was fresh hunting + displacement

That’s why price is now holding above the key demand zone (379–386).

This area is no longer weak — it is defended.

Structure & Market Flow

Price is compressing inside a descending structure / wedge

Each bearish push is getting weaker → bearish momentum is fading

After the liquidity grab, price is forming higher lows → classic accumulation behavior

This is a textbook pre-expansion structure.

Important CPI Insight (do not ignore this)

During CPI:

Weak traders react to numbers

Smart money reacts to liquidity

Right now:

Downside liquidity is already taken

Upside liquidity remains untouched, sitting around 450 → 470+

This tells us CPI is more likely to act as a catalyst, not the cause.

Trade Logic (Long Holding Bias)

Buy Zone (Still valid):

➡️ 388 – 395

Invalidation:

🛑 Below 379 — clean structure failure, not noise

Targets (Liquidity-Based, Not Emotional)

🎯 TP1: 412 — first reaction zone

🎯 TP2: 438 — previous supply

🎯 TP3: 450 – 472 — higher timeframe liquidity & expansion zone

If CPI brings short-term volatility,

that volatility becomes fuel, not fear.

Final Thought

If CPI were meant to dump ZEC:

Price would not reclaim structure beforehand

Liquidity would not be swept before the news

This is how professionals position before headlines.

I’m not predicting CPI.

I’m reading what price has already revealed.

Plan over panic.

Structure over news.#WriteToEarnUpgrade #BinanceAlphaAlert #USNonFarmPayrollReport
