Its market capitalization briefly exceeded $25 billion, making it one of the 10 biggest digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>The main catalysts for its impressive rally included the broader market&#8217;s resurgence, the\u00a0debut of the ZEC ETP in Europe, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/grayscales-zcash-etf-starts-trading-on-nyse-arca-with-a-2-5-sponsor-fee\/\">launch<\/a> of a spot Zcash ETF, and other factors. However, the crypto sector has seen a substantial correction over the last 24 hours, dragging the privacy coin down with it, and some analysts think the bull run may now turn into a violent crash.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-the-rally-over\">Is the Rally Over?<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this week, ZEC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/zcash-tops-1600-after-europes-first-zec-etp-debuts\/\">surpassed<\/a> $1,600 for the first time since 2016. And while many expected the upswing to continue, the whole market <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-slumps-hard-after-another-1-60-rejection-btc-slips-below-84k-market-watch\/\">headed south<\/a>, and now the privacy token is worth roughly $1,470 (per CoinGecko).<\/p>\n<p>X user Crypto Patel <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoPatel\/status\/2102797642288005229\">noted<\/a> that ZEC has already delivered an &#8220;extraordinary move,&#8221; adding that anyone who accumulated during 2024-2025 has witnessed a massive return.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the analyst warned people to be highly cautious in the $1,600-$2,000 range, claiming that a cup-and-handle structure suggests this could mark the local top. The market observer argued that ZEC has started showing signs of &#8220;extreme extension from a psychological perspective&#8221; following the major rally.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto Patel then shared a long-term prediction that is clearly bearish. They believe that if the current cycle eventually enters a distribution and downtrend phase, the price could dump below $500 in the next 1-3 years. The analyst made an even grimmer forecast, envisioning a collapse to $200 if the long-term structure completely reverses.<\/p>\n<p>For their part, X user Zayn recently revealed that they made $30,000 after opening a short position on ZEC. They later <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Zaynnode\/status\/2102931001823375586\">said<\/a> the paper profit has risen above $60,000, calling it one of their &#8220;biggest wins this year&#8221; and wondering whether to keep the position open until they potentially make $100K.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"are-the-bulls-coming-back\">Are the Bulls Coming Back?<\/h2>\n<p>ZEC&#8217;s recent correction shouldn&#8217;t be directly interpreted as the end of the overall upward trajectory. After all, the asset has been on a tear for quite some time, and pullbacks are an inevitable part of the whole move.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, some investors have started abandoning centralized platforms and shifting into self-custody solutions after a period of flocking into exchanges. The latest development is clearly bullish, as it reduces immediate selling pressure and could open the door to a rebound.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1449516\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1449516\" style=\"width: 1367px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1449516\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ZEC Exchange Netflow, Source: CoinGlass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/zcash-zec-slips-8-daily-heres-why-one-analyst-believes-the-price-could-crash-to-200\/\">Zcash (ZEC) Slips 8% Daily: Here&#8217;s Why One Analyst Believes the Price Could Crash to $200<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/zcash-zec-slips-8-daily-heres-why-one-analyst-believes-the-price-could-crash-to-200\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The popular privacy coin has stunned the crypto community after its price exploded by over 2,600% over the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47421,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47420\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/47421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
