Zcash has now held a place on the trending list for 2 consecutive days. Interest spans 12 countries — Australia, India, Indonesia and 9 others among them. It has moved +8.1% since yesterday and +34.2% since last week. Against a market cap of $24.59B, the $2.56B daily volume gives a turnover of 0.10. Across 10 technical checks the coin scores 100, which maps to a strong buy signal. Momentum is hot: RSI is 72. The six-part risk model returns 32 (medium), mostly from 7-day price change and days on the trending list.

Two independent sources carry it: CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap and Binance's hot list. Since its first appearance on September 17 the coin has moved +1.8%. Across the last 30 days the coin is +189.4%. On the market-cap table it sits at 9, one of the twenty largest coins by market value. The 50-day average sits +86.6% below the current price. The upward phase on the trend indicator has lasted 68 days so far. The three-month range puts it +0.0% off the top and +289.7% off the bottom.

A positive chart after a sharp rise: the risk here is timing rather than direction. Note that RSI at 72 puts it in overbought territory.

Questions about Zcash

Answered from today's data, regenerated every day

Why is Zcash trending today?

Zcash appears on 12 national trending lists (Australia, India, Indonesia and 9 others) and scores 98 out of 100 on the combined trend score, which puts it at rank 1 worldwide today. The score is built from its position in the CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap trending feeds, how many countries list it and whether Binance marks it as hot. It measures attention only — nothing in it reflects the price direction.

Is Zcash a buy right now?

This site does not give recommendations. What the data shows: the daily technical model scores 100 out of 100 on 10 checks, which reads as strong buy, while the hype-risk score is 32/100 (medium). Those two numbers answer different questions, and a high trending rank is not part of either.

How risky is Zcash compared with other trending coins?

Its hype-risk score is 32 out of 100, a medium reading. The largest contributors are 7-day price change (+34.2% over the past week) and days on the trending list. The score is six measures added together and it is recalculated every day, so it moves as the coin ages on the list.

What is the ZEC price and how much has it moved?

Zcash trades at $1,451 at the last daily close, +8.1% over 24 hours and +34.2% over seven days, +189.4% over thirty. Prices on this site come from the daily close at 00:00 UTC and are not live quotes.

How long has Zcash been trending?

It has been on the list for 2 consecutive days, with a best position of 1. Persistence is part of the picture: the longer a coin stays, the less of the risk score comes from novelty.
