CleaRank AI analysis of ZEC/USD
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Zcash (ZEC/USD) is trading between its two moving averages. At $1,137.88, the coin sits 68.99% above its 200-day average of $673.34 but 9.01% below its 50-day average of $1,250.59. That 50-day average is 85.73% above the 200-day one, and the gap would shrink if the price keeps trading under the shorter average. Within its 52-week range, running from $197.12 to $1,653.12, the price stands at 65%.
A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 22.45% over the past month, rose 103.67% over the past three months and rose 423.12% over the past year. On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 42.3, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative.
- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 50-day SMA at $1,250.59 sits above the price, while the 200-day SMA at $673.34 sits below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 42.3 sits in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
Trend signals are split. The price is above the 200-day average of $673.34 but below the 50-day average of $1,250.59. A close over the 50-day would flip both signals to up, while a close under the 200-day would flip both to down. For now, the price is wedged between the 200-day SMA ($673.34) below and the 50-day SMA ($1,250.59) above.

Method: a lognormal simulation of ZEC/USD's own volatility and capped historical trend, re-run daily; base case is the median path, the outer columns the 10th and 90th percentiles. ZEC/USD is highly volatile, so its upside column reaches an extreme multiple; treat it as a statistical tail, not an expectation.
