ZCash Price Forecast – Bulls Target $399 as Momentum Builds

Highlights:

• ZCash intraday gains signal a potential rebound.
• $25M capital injection into the ZCash ecosystem could help push the price higher.
• Rising demand for privacy could trigger ZCash breakout.

ZCash (ZEC) is in the green today, even as the market sends mixed signals. When writing, Bitcoin was trading at $226.82, up by 5.46% in the day. ZCash trading volumes have also shot up intraday, up 28.44% to stand at $291.7 million. The surge in volume alongside the price indicates that bulls are taking control of ZCash. Looking ahead, there are factors within the ZCash ecosystem that could trigger more gains for ZCash in the short to medium term.

Capital Injection Into ZCash Ecosystem Could Push Price Higher

One of them is the recent capital injection into the ZCash ecosystem. ZODL, an institution helping make ZCash better, recently received $25 million in investments. The capital will go towards key aspects of ZCash, such as improving the protocol, enhancing shielded protections, improving wallets, and overall improving ZCash.

All these are moves that are likely to inspire investor confidence in ZCash going into the future. This could see it attract more investments than other altcoins, many of which have no real use case. Investor interest in ZCash following this capital injection is evident in the price of ZCash, which has been rising since the $25 million ZODL capital raise hit the headlines.

Rising Demand for Privacy Coins Could Push ZEC Higher

ZCash could also be pushed higher by the fact that real demand for privacy coins is on the rise. In many jurisdictions across the world, governments are increasingly limiting financial privacy through digital transactions. This is pushing more of the non-cryptocurrency public to consider buying privacy coins. They are not buying them for speculation, but to preserve their privacy when moving value.

On this front, ZCash is among the most in-demand. That’s because it has time-tested and proven privacy technology. It is also one of the few privacy coins that has a low risk of being banned. That’s because it offers both shielded and non-shielded transactions. As such, large players looking to leverage privacy coins, while staying safe from regulations, could pivot into ZCash going into the future. 

ZCash Undervalued Relative to Recent Highs

ZCash is also likely to get a boost from the fact that it is massively undervalued at current prices. Since its rally to almost $1000, ZCash has taken a serious beating, down to its current price level. If Bitcoin holds above its current support of $62k, and the broader market starts to rebound, value buyers could flock to ZCash. That’s because even if it were to trade back at the price level it was at before the correction, it could still be significant. 

So far, there are indicators that a rebound could be on the horizon across the market. A key trigger that could help drive a market is news that talks are ongoing about the Iran war. The US and Iran are said to be holding talks with Pakistan as an intermediary. If there is any real breakthrough in such talks, the odds are high that markets could rally across the board. The result is that ZCash, which is already showing strength, could rally to new highs. 

Technical Analysis – ZCash In A Narrow Consolidation Hinting At Breakout

ZCash is currently trading in a narrow consolidation between the $241.01 resistance and $211.44 support. Such narrow range trading usually happens before major price breakouts. If bulls take control and there is a breakout through the $241.01 resistance, a rally to $399.05 could follow.

On the other hand, if bears take control and there is a breakdown through the $211.44 support, a correction to $187.27 could follow. Of these scenarios, a rally to $399.05 is more likely. That’s because of the strong demand for privacy coins, and the possibility that the war in Iran could soon come to an end.
