Dash’s sharp 24-hour jump has pulled traders back toward privacy coins, and much of the move appears to be driven by leveraged positions.

Dash (DASH) rose about +21% in the past day to roughly $74.9. It moved faster than Zcash, which added about 9.9%, and Monero, which gained about 3.9% in the same period, based on Coinglass data.

The move took shape across global exchanges on January 14-15 as traders rotated into privacy assets and chased momentum in a market that still feels thin.

Alchemy Pay said it added Dash to its network, giving users access to fiat on-ramps in 173 countries and regions.

How Much Leverage Is Powering DASH’s Latest Rally?

CoinGlass lists DASH open interest near $155M and about $3.58Bn in futures trading volume in the past 24 hours. 

Those figures stand out when set against Dash’s market cap, which still sits under $1Bn.

DefiLlama’s data shows strong activity on decentralized platforms. Perpetuals hit about $41.31Bn in volume over the past 24 hours, with open interest near $21.07Bn. 

DEX volumes came in at roughly $13.45Bn during the same window.

Regulators in Dubai also moved ahead with new crypto rules. The DFSA said its latest token guidelines took effect on January 12.

Dash Price Prediction: Is Dash’s Momentum Strong Enough to Sustain This Breakout?

Dash, meanwhile, is posting one of its cleanest breakouts in years. The chart shows strong momentum and a clear push above levels that capped the market for months. 

It stands out as one of the few privacy-linked coins showing firm leadership right now.

On the higher-timeframe chart, DASH has finally pushed above a horizontal cap that blocked price through most of 2024 and early 2025. 

The breakout candle is clear and carries the strongest inflow-driven move seen in more than two years. 

The move also broke the old descending trendline and turned the mid-$40 area from resistance into support. 

Price has stayed above that level since the breakout, which shows buyers are defending their position instead of chasing a quick pop. 

The chart now shows steady higher highs and higher lows. That shift points to a move away from accumulation and into expansion.

The latest pullback looks calm and shallow. It doesn’t show the sharp rejection you see when a breakout fails. 

And if DASH keeps holding above its reclaimed support, the path opens toward the next supply zones overhead.

Crypto analyst CryptoRand called the move “decisive,” adding: “$DASH breakout is plain massive, leading the privacy run along with $XMR and showing top strength. Biggest inflow registered candle in more than 2 years.”

Traders now want to see if DASH can keep this momentum and confirm the breakout with steady follow-through in the sessions ahead.
