ZEC plunged and erased billions from the privacy coin market cap, leaving traders questioning recovery prospects after the latest crypto market crash.

Price action on the 4h chart shows ZEC trapped in a bearish trend with EMA50 resistance at $523.59 and EMA200 at $516.37 capping upside. MACD death cross at -62.65 reinforces downside pressure while RSI at 24.04 flashes oversold exhaustion. Bollinger Bands place immediate volatility targets between upper resistance at $749.28 and lower support at $283.27, suggesting any bounce may stall before retesting the lower band. Analysts now update ZEC price prediction models to factor sustained selling pressure from institutional flows.
