#数字资产动态追踪 ZEC hourly chart releases a key signal, why do I believe the next rally is imminent?

Pay close attention to this level — I’m talking about ZEC’s 1-hour trend. What’s brewing now could be a real breakout.

**What does the technical analysis reveal:**
From the low of 485 up to 526.78, then a pullback. Currently, the price is holding steady at the critical support of 488-492, which coincides with the moving average convergence band (MA7/30, EMA7/30) formed during the previous breakout.

The MACD has already shifted from red to green. The green histogram hasn’t expanded yet, but that’s not important — what matters is that DIF has crossed above DEA, indicating that momentum is quietly shifting on the hourly level.

The Bollinger Bands are even more interesting. After tightening, they are slightly opening again, with the price near the middle band (497.4). Once it stabilizes above this level, a surge toward the upper band (510) becomes highly probable.

**On-chain data insights:**
Large on-chain transfers of ZEC have recently increased significantly in frequency. Signs of phased accumulation by cold wallets are obvious, with large holders’ positions becoming more concentrated.

Exchange net outflows have persisted for 3 days. What does this mean? Chips are consolidating, and selling pressure is being absorbed.

**Where’s the catalyst:**
ZEC will have a network upgrade next month, and the privacy cross-chain protocol integration testing has already started. This will attract a wave of technical funds to pre-position.

Additionally, funds are flowing out of the Bitcoin ecosystem recently. The rotation in the privacy sector is imminent, and as a veteran in this track, ZEC usually leads the charge during rotations.

**My judgment:**
Short-term pullbacks are just cleaning out the momentum traders. As long as the hourly MACD forms a second golden cross and the green histogram expands, the psychological barrier at 500 will be quickly broken, then targeting 515-525.

I’ve already placed staggered orders between 488-493, with a stop-loss below 482, aiming first for 520.

The essence of trading isn’t gambling on direction but finding probabilistic advantages. At this level, the odds are clearly in my favor. $ZEC
