This also represents a whopping 42% collapse from the multi-year high of approximately $1,700 reached this September. Following the pullback, ZEC&#8217;s market capitalization dropped to nearly $16.6 billion, meaning it is no longer among the 10 biggest cryptocurrencies after Hyperliquid (HYPE) overtook it.<\/p>\n<p>Its decline comes amid a broader market correction, yet its magnitude is surprising given Grayscale&#8217;s latest effort. The leading digital asset manager <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Grayscale\/status\/2120171219802849361\">revealed<\/a> that it will reinvest <span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">100% of its ZEC ETF sponsor fees into the Zcash network across development, marketing, community, and education.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Several analysts think there is no immediate bounce in sight and anticipate further declines. X user Altcoin Sherpa <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AltcoinSherpa\/status\/2120463333774008468\">expects<\/a> an ultimate bottom in the $800-$900 range before a potential reversal.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto Patel was even more pessimistic, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoPatel\/status\/2120448950708678756\">advising<\/a> investors to book 50% of their profits here and &#8220;trail the remaining position with a disciplined stop-loss.&#8221; In their view, the price could crash all the way down to the $500-$200 zone.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the correction has negatively <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lookonchain\/status\/2120437276849340537\">impacted<\/a> a mysterious market participant who previously o<span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">pened a 10x long on 18,000 ZEC ($17.63 million) and is now sitting on a major loss of over $2.8 million (at least on paper). The trader will be fully liquidated if ZEC collapses to around $895 unless they provide additional collateral to keep the position open.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-bullish-outlook\">The Bullish Outlook<\/h2>\n<p>Certain factors, including ZEC&#8217;s Relative Strength Index (RSI), suggest that the asset may stage a short-term recovery. The technical analysis tool, which measures the recent magnitude and speed of price changes, runs from 0 to 100, and can give traders an idea of potential reversal points.<\/p>\n<p>Readings below 30 indicate that the asset has entered oversold territory and could be gearing up for a rebound, while anything above 70 is typically considered a warning for an impending pullback. Currently, the RSI stands at 29.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1453506\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1453506\" style=\"width: 1405px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ZEC-RSI.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1453506\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ZEC RSI, Source: RSI Hunter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Next on the list is ZEC&#8217;s exchange netflow.
