A bearish Zcash (ZECZEC) technical setup suggests that the token may undergo a brief uptrend in March, potentially pushing its price toward $400.
Zcash enters March with its chart hinting at a bear flag in the early stages, a setup that typically forms when a sharp drop (“flagpole”) is followed by a tight, upward-to-sideways consolidation (“flag”) before the prior downtrend resumes.
If the lower boundary continues to hold, ZEC could attempt a recovery toward the upper flag trendline at around $400 in March. That zone aligns with the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement (~$398.9).
A move back toward $400 would reflect ZEC mean-reverting into overhead supply.
The rebound case may not be clean. The chart shows ZEC still trading below its key moving averages, with the 50-day EMA near $309.8 and the 200-day EMA near $294.2.
Those levels can act like “speed bumps” on the way up, potentially capping rallies or triggering fresh selling pressure.
The relative strength index (RSI) sits in the low-40s, suggesting ZEC is recovering from weak momentum but hasn’t reclaimed a strong uptrend posture.
The bigger risk is that bear flags most often resolve as bearish continuation.
A decisive daily close below the flag’s lower trendline would likely confirm the breakdown, shifting focus to the next major support near $125, the chart’s highlighted downside target.
Risk-off sentiment could amplify that breakdown risk.
If global equities stay under pressure due to Donald Trump’s tariff tantrums, US-Iran headlines, or “AI scare trade,” investors will likely cut exposure to high-beta assets first, such as Zcash.
In that backdrop, liquidity thins, bounces get sold, and stop-loss cascades trigger more easily, accelerating a move below the flag support and pulling ZEC toward deeper support zones.
