Zcash (ZEC) price has extended its corrective phase after dropping more than 12% over the past week. The move has pushed the price back into a higher-risk zone, and hence what looks like a routine pullback may transform into a clearer bearish continuation. Momentum and structure both lean lower, and the price is now trading well below its prior consolidation range, and buyers have not shown consistent dip strength. As a result, each rebound attempt looks more like a minor bounce than a reversal, while downside pressure keeps building.
In the times when the sellers maintain control as the ZEC price is failing to reclaim key levels, the question arises whether the correction will extend below $300.
After marking the highs in Q4, 2025, the ZEC price has remained under significant bearish pressure. Moreover, the fight within the project leadership, causing mass resignations of the core developers, had a huge negative impact on the token. However, the actual Zcash network, blockchain, privacy tech and transactions are claimed to be working perfectly fine. In such a case, will the return of a new team recover the ZEC price rally?
The daily chart of ZEC suggests the ‘OG’ privacy coin has broken below the decisive symmetrical triangle after failing to hold the 0.5 FIB at $398. The next important range to defend would be around 0.382 FIB at $316, just above the support zone between $305 and $298. The traders may expect a bounce before entering this support zone, but the drop in the rally’s strength and outflow of liquidity flash bearish signals for the crypto. Although the RSI has displayed a small bullish divergence, the steep drop in the CMF hints towards small bounces that could result in frequent fake-outs.
What’s next for the ZEC price?
Considering the above chart, it indicates the bearish trend may extend, dragging the levels below $300. The broader market conditions are also extremely volatile, with the traditional markets also experiencing a loss of over trillions. On the other hand, metals like gold and silver are coiling up, hinting towards a rotation of liquidity from the risk assets to the traditional assets. In such market conditions, one cannot expect a strong rebound, but the Zcash (ZEC) price that maintained a steep descending trend may continue to do so until the sentiments flip completely above the bearish influence.
