Zcash Price Prediction: ZEC bounces off a substantial support level targeting $80

  • ZEC is currently trading at $59 after defending the daily 200-MA and $56 support level.
  • Bulls are now fighting to stay above the daily 200-EMA at $59.81. 

Zcash had one of the worst crashes in the market, losing more than 25% of its value in just one day. ZEC bulls are trying to recover after prices bounced from the daily 200-MA as there aren’t many resistance levels on the way up.

The $56 support level is crucial because many addresses bought around that level. According to the IOMAP model, $56 and $42 are the most critical support levels. As for resistance, bulls will encounter a strong level at $71 and $83. 

ZEC/USD 12-hour chart

On the 12-hour chart, the MACD is on the verge of a bull cross after the bounce from the overextended RSI. There are very few resistance levels on the way up to $80 besides the Moving Averages. The MACD in combination with the RSI should serve as a good buy signal considering the crash didn't leave too many resistance levels on the way down.
