Zcash Eyes $450 After Breaking Key Barrier

According to a recent post by crypto analyst Ardi, the ZEC price has surged significantly in recent times, reaching over 80% in the last trading sessions. The analyst noted that price action is unfolding as expected, with ZEC approaching a critical level that could determine its next broader trend direction.

If bulls manage to turn this resistance into support, it would be a shift to a green local trend, as ZEC traded near $450 in its prior cycle. However, failure to close above this zone would be yet another macro low high, further confirming the downtrend and indicating that this recent rally is likely to be sold into further.
