Zcash Price Tops $1,200 Amid Pressure on Whale Short Position
The price of Zcash has reached $1,223-$1,229, marking a decade-high area, and putting pressure on a reported $45 million whale short position. The open interest in ZEC has surged to around $2.15 billion, indicating unusually high leverage. Institutional inflows, following the listing of the first spot Zcash ETF on NYSE Arca, have added another layer of demand to the asset.
The rally is not just about short liquidations, but also new demand from institutional investors. However, traders should be cautious as the Daily RSI is around 86.47, which is a highly overbought reading. This means that mean reversion could occur, especially if broader crypto markets weaken.
