Recently, ZEC has been quite active. The 24-hour increase exceeds 9%, and the price has been climbing steadily, just breaking through the 410 USDT mark. Many people are getting tempted as they watch, wondering whether to take a position — but for traders who have experienced ZEC’s temperament, this actually signals a potential swing trade.

Why do I say that? ZEC has a clear characteristic: large fluctuations and quick reactions. Even a slight stir — such as institutional news or ETF rumors — can trigger a sharp surge; but if there’s no follow-up positive news, it usually pulls back shortly afterward. A few days ago, it was hovering around 380, then suddenly surged to 418, but from the weekly chart, it’s still in a range-bound oscillation.

From a technical perspective, the MACD has just generated a golden cross, and the histogram is trending upward, indicating short-term signs of strength. But that’s not the main reason to be bullish. Resistance levels above are not far away, near previous highs, where some traders will likely take profits. If you’re in this rally, instead of greedily holding on, it’s better to consider selling some on the way up and buying back on dips.

The biggest pitfalls in swing trading are greed and stubborn holding. Honestly, holding ZEC passively might not earn as much as making a few small swings — especially when the overall market lacks hot spots. Since you’ve already figured out its temperament — easily influenced by news, rising fast and falling quickly — leverage this trait: buy a little on big dips, sell a little during rapid surges, never chase highs. Mastering these points will be much more rewarding than constantly staring at the screen all day.
