ZEC market has been witnessing significant price action in recent weeks. After a sharp rise, with ZEC surpassing $500 for the first time since 2018, some analysts are warning of a potential price correction.
The cryptocurrency has since retraced to around $473, leading many to speculate on whether the surge has reached its peak.
Crypto Tony pointed out the increased retail participation, suggesting that ZEC’s rally may have topped out. He predicts that the price could fall back to key support levels, notably around the $300 mark.
This zone represents a previous breakout point, which could act as strong support for ZEC in the coming weeks.
Cypherpunk Purchases $50M Worth of ZEC
Meanwhile, Cypherpunk Technologies formerly known as Leap Therapeutics, has shifted its focus toward accumulating Zcash (ZEC). The firm recently raised $58.8 million in a private funding round, led by Winklevoss Capital.
This funding enabled Cypherpunk to purchase 203,775 ZEC tokens at an average price of $245 per coin, totaling approximately $50 million.
Cypherpunk’s decision to invest heavily in ZEC signals growing institutional interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies. The company will soon begin trading under the ticker CYPH on November 13.
Analysts Anticipate ZEC Price Retracement
Despite the bullish trend for ZEC throughout 2025, some analysts believe the asset is due for a retracement. A notable analyst under the name Altcoin Sherpa predicted a “painful crash” following a 1,500% price increase in just two months.
The price surge has led to what some market participants describe as overbought conditions. However, a potential pullback to the $300 to $400 range could offer new buying opportunities.
