Market Performance and Technical Overview

The recent action put ZEC above the support level of $471.83, which showed fresh vigor in its short-term structure. It is important to note that the action of the price was after a short pull back which caused the prices to stabilize at the mid-range of about $374.96, and subsequently triggered the breakout in addressing the resistance zone of about $545.62.

The present trading action indicates that bulls are protecting higher bottoms, which will be trading actively and having good buying pressure. Moreover, the 4-hour chart shows an absolute break of a tightened consolidation period. 

The fact that the market is recovering after the zone of $448.98 supports the idea of the further growth of the general upward movement, and short-term traders seem to be concentrated on the price stability around $500. The breakout structure is not broken implying that the new gains were not accidental but they were part of a systematic accumulation process.

Short-Term Range and Market Implications

The price range of 24 hours between $471.83 and $545.62 indicates a widening price zone indicating high volatility as the market approaches the high limits. With the price clustering above the lower support, the market players are keenly observing the vigor of the next impulse to the region of $545. Maintaining the momentum at and above the present level might further boost the trust in the continuing rally.

Maintaining support above $471 could define short-term direction, while any breach beyond $545 may signal continued expansion in the upcoming sessions.
