ZEC Update: ZEC has quietly entered a new uptrend, and it’s doing so without much noise or attention. After defending the ~$300 level and reclaiming higher timeframe structure, price has transitioned into a series of higher lows and higher highs on the weekly, which is the clearest signal that trend conditions have shifted. The move higher has been controlled rather than euphoric, which is often how the healthiest trends begin.
What stands out is how little chatter there is around this move. There’s no major hype, no crowded positioning, and no obvious signs of excess yet. Structurally, ZEC is grinding higher within a rising channel, using pullbacks as support rather than breaking down. That kind of price action typically reflects steady accumulation rather than speculative blow-off behavior.
From a higher timeframe perspective, the recovery from the lows looks less like a bounce and more like the early stages of a new expansion phase. As long as ZEC continues to hold above prior breakout levels and respects the rising structure, the path of least resistance remains higher.
Looking further out, if this trend continues to develop and broader market conditions remain constructive, I wouldn’t be surprised to see ZEC trading north of $1K sometime in 2026. That’s not a near-term call, but structurally it’s a reasonable outcome if this quiet uptrend continues to mature.
For now, this is a reminder that some of the best trends start when nobody is paying attention. ZEC is one to keep on the radar as long as this higher timeframe structure remains intact.
