Zcash rallies toward $600 as bullish technical patterns and rising futures interest boost price

Zcash (ZEC) has surged from the $500 support level, climbing 14.9% in three days to trade near $559. Technical analysis points to bullish formations, including a cup‑and‑handle pattern, a golden‑cross crossover and a bullish swing structure on higher timeframes. Open interest in ZEC futures jumped 18.3% to approach the $958 million peak seen in May, indicating strong speculative demand.

Analysts note that the $600 price zone acts as a magnetic liquidation area, and a breach could propel the coin toward $750 or even $918, while a pullback below $500 remains less likely. The rally occurs despite broader market volatility, with the Winklevoss twins among notable holders, and anticipation of a spot Grayscale Zcash ETF later this year adding to long‑term demand.

The consensus among traders is that the bulls are in control, and the next key resistance lies around $600, followed by higher targets if the upward momentum persists.
