- Zcash trades near $460 after weekly declines and falling volume push it toward key support.
- Reclaiming $527 would confirm bullish momentum; failing to hold $440 risks deeper downside.
- 2025 price predictions range widely, from a conservative $647–$668 to bullish targets near $1,000.
Zcash (ZEC) is trading around $460.09, dipping roughly 2.67% in the latest session. Trading volume has cooled off significantly too, down 16.79% to $686 million, while the weekly chart paints an even heavier picture — an 11.55% decline, keeping ZEC under firm bearish pressure.
The market’s attention has shifted toward ZEC’s slide into a key support area. With privacy-focused assets facing reduced activity across the board, liquidity concerns and increased volatility are starting to weigh more heavily on sentiment.
Sentiment and trading volume still driving the market
According to analyst TurboBullCapital, ZEC has entered the important $440 support zone, which lines up directly with the 50-day moving average (MA50). When price and a major moving average converge like this, it often becomes a battleground — either a launchpad for a bounce or a break point for deeper downside.
The analyst notes that Zcash needs to reclaim $527 before any real bullish structure can develop. That level would confirm a higher high and shift momentum back toward buyers. If ZEC manages to break above that critical barrier, the next reasonable target becomes the $600 region — a historic zone that has acted as both resistance and a momentum catalyst during previous rallies.
Until then, ZEC remains vulnerable to sentiment swings and volume drops, which continue to dictate short-term direction.
ZEC price prediction for 2025
DigitalCoinPrice offers one of the more bullish long-term forecasts, suggesting Zcash could challenge $1,008.80 by the end of 2025 — possibly even revisiting or breaking above its old all-time high near $5,941.80 if conditions line up. Their model expects ZEC to consolidate somewhere between $974.77 and $1,008.80, assuming the broader market embraces privacy-centric tech again.
Changelly, however, presents a far more conservative path. Their 2025 outlook shows:
- Minimum: $668.55
- Maximum: $658.16
- Average: $647.77
These numbers reflect modest recovery rather than explosive upside, with an expected 42.1% ROI if markets remain stable — not bad, but definitely not moonshot territory.
For November 2025, Changelly projects ZEC will trade above $458.19, peak around $467.01, and average near $462.60, offering a very small 0.80% ROI. Essentially: steady, slow, and cautious.
Final thoughts
Zcash now sits at a crucial support level with weakening volume, softer sentiment, and a technical structure that hasn’t confirmed any reversal yet. A bounce from the $440 zone is possible — especially with MA50 support — but reclaiming $527 remains the key to unlocking any meaningful bullish momentum.
For now, ZEC’s next move will depend heavily on whether buyers show up soon… or let the bearish trend continue dragging prices lower.
