• Zcash whale activity triggers renewed market volatility signals.
• The expanding wedge pattern suggests a potential bullish ZEC breakout.
• Divergent BTC and ZEC trades indicate strategic positioning.
• OKX launches Zcash trading, meeting privacy-demand growth.

Zcash (ZEC) is on the way to its upward price trajectory, with a surge in its value, mirroring the broader market conditions. The token is currently trading at $606.92, marking a surge of 20.29% over the last 24 hours.

However, the crypto analyst, Lookonchain, revealed that in a sharp turn of events, whale trader 0x152e closed his ZEC long yesterday, realizing a steep $846K loss. As ZEC staged a brief rebound today, he quickly flipped his stance and opened a 5x short worth 4,574.87 ZEC ($2.66M). The rapid shift signals a renewed bearish conviction after a painful exit.

At nearly the same moment, the trader launched an aggressive 20x long on 367.36 BTC, taking on $31.63 million in exposure. The contrasting bets suggest a strategy aimed at exploiting the divergence between Bitcoin’s strength and ZEC’s weakness. With such heavy leverage on both sides, markets are watching closely to see whether this bold repositioning delivers a recovery or deeper losses.

ZEC Expanding Wedge Signals Potential $825 Rally

Moreover, the crypto analyst, Crypto Tony, highlighted that the price of ZEC is moving inside an expanding wedge, with support rising and resistance gently declining. It outlines a projected a–b–c–d–e corrective sequence, suggesting the price may continue oscillating within the widening structure. These swings reflect a period of indecision as the market tests both trend boundaries repeatedly.

After completing point (e), it can be seen from the chart that there may be a bullish breakout above the upper trendline of the wedge. A strong upward arrow highlights the possibility of gaining momentum after completing the consolidation phase. This may trigger a rally to $825 if market conditions favor it.
