Today's Zcash signal explained
Zcash is currently on a daily BUY signal: the Supertrend (10, 3) indicator flipped bullish 55 days ago and the price ($1,023) is trading above its 200-day simple moving average ($441.48). Both the short-term trend and the long-term regime filter agree, which is the only condition under which this system issues a daily buy.
The weekly swing signal is BUY. Zcash broke above its 20-day closing high 19 days ago and has not yet closed below its 10-day low (currently $800.45). A close under that level would end the swing position.
The monthly position signal is BUY. Zcash cleared its 55-day closing high 15 days ago. The exit for this slower rule is a close below the 20-day low, now at $486.40.
The yearly regime is ACCUMULATE: price is above a rising 200-day moving average. In the last five years this has been the environment in which most of the sustainable upside in Zcash and in the wider crypto market has occurred.
Momentum check: the 14-day RSI is at 80.2, MACD is above its signal line, and ADX at 48.2 indicates a strong trend. Volume is 1.31× its 20-day average. Over the last 7, 30 and 90 days Zcash has moved +27.8%, +99.7% and +182.3% respectively; it trades +0.0% from its 52-week high and +2,388.9% above its 52-week low.
