The demand for privacy coins such as Zcash, Monero, and Dash increased as a result of the intensification of regulations on privacy coins.

However, the crypto analyst, Batman, revealed that ZEC has broken out above major levels of resistance and has demonstrated renewed bullish strength in the privacy coin market.

If ZEC can hold this level of support, it could open the floodgates to further price gains. The confluence of the breakout confirmation with the support at a Fibonacci level makes this scenario very attractive. It looks like it may be time to take a wait-and-see approach when it comes to this retest.
Price Action, Market Sentiment, and Momentum Indicators
The Zcash price has recently fallen from $525 to $480, but it has begun to reverse. The RSI is currently standing at 53.18, which provides a neutral to bullish market condition. There is neither any pressure to oversell nor any pressure to overload. The ZEC has the potential to move up but is waiting for an RSI confirmation above 60.
