ZEC Price Setup Eyes Break Toward Range High
Furthermore, the crypto analyst Scient pointed out that the short-term movements in the ZEC price suggest a minor retracement in the low timeframe, pointing to a potential retreat further down.
However, this minor retracement contradicts the overall daily chart trend, which remains confined in a sideways consolidation. There has been an established bottom, and the prices are rising gradually.

Currently, the ZEC price is testing the top side of resistance in the key resistance area, currently trading close to the 0.75 retracement level and the value area high.
Although rejection is always on the cards, the pullback is expected to occur in the range of $400-$440, which coincides with daily EMAs, break structure areas, and gaps in fair value that have not yet been filled.
