Zcash (ZEC) lost ground as larger market volatility spread among key altcoins, resulting in smaller swings of several high-volume pairs. Liquidity changed throughout the session and affected the price action through several intraday periods. A significant drop in ZEC followed this broader directional pullback.

At the time of writing, ZEC is trading at $368.97 following a decline of 7.95% on the previous day. The trading volume increased 46.18% and currently stands at $543.56 million. Over the last week, the ZEC coin price has gone down by 7.57%, with the market capitalization at $6.08 billion.

ZEC Holds Below Weekly Average as Momentum Weakens

Analyst 0xWhale highlighted that ZEC was trading below its average price per week on a second consecutive day, which illustrated that the current movements to the upside were weak. The RSI was also approaching the oversold region on the 4H chart, indicating that the strength of the short-term movement was still low.

The focus has been on the support area of $360-354, being an important response area in the past. A drop towards the $331 to $329 area is still possible given that the current pressure is kept, and the action within these ranges will either cause permanent weakening or temporary stabilization of the structure.

Crypto analyst GainMuse mentioned that ZEC is still floating in a tighter structure, and that did not allow upside but emphasized increasing pressure in the breakdown area. A clear move above this tightening trend will determine whether the next stage will result in a more prolonged stay or a rebound recovery.

RSI and MACD Stay in Negative Territory

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) revealed obvious weakness on the daily chart. RSI was at 38.56, and the RSI-based moving average was at 42.80. The momentum is still below the neutral range, and ZEC is still in a soft zone with no indication of retaining strength.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) was also bearish. The MACD line was below 20.11, and the signal line is below 12.43, which has put the histogram below zero, giving the confirmation that the movement was downward. This arrangement did not record any tested changes toward an upside reversal.

The token is currently trading at critical reaction levels, and future movements will determine whether it will find support or move into deeper areas in the upcoming phase.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
