Momentum and Indicators

RSI climbed into overbought territory (above 70) after a sharp rally past $255.36, suggesting possible short-term profit-taking. MACD showed a strong positive divergence, aligning with increasing volume during the final 4 hours of the session.

Volatility and Volume

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the final 3 hours, confirming rising volatility. A large 5-minute bar at $252.33 recorded a volume of 27.314 and turnover of $6,867.66, confirming price strength as the upper band was tested.

Looking ahead, ZECUSD1 may test the $260–$262 level as the next potential hurdle. A pullback to the 38.2% Fib level at $252.16 could see renewed buying pressure. Investors should remain cautious if the 20-period MA flattens or turns downward.
