ZEC's recent trend is indeed not very optimistic. After a sharp decline on the daily chart, the price has entered a weak consolidation phase. On the 4-hour chart, the 450 level has become a new trapped zone, and each rebound appears to lack follow-through.
From a structural perspective, the main force's intention to unload is still very clear, with the current price hovering around 432. In this environment, shorting seems to be the current approach.
If you want to participate, risk control is very important—using three times leverage, setting the 1-hour resistance level as a stop-loss line is more prudent. Once the price breaks through 445, it’s time to exit decisively to avoid being caught off guard. Overall, at this stage, a defensive strategy should be prioritized.

450 this level is really a big trap, once you go in, no one will save you
ZEC's recent move is definitely driven by the main force dumping, it's really uncomfortable to watch
Three times leverage? I still think it's too aggressive; in this market, one reverse move and you'll get liquidated
Focusing on defense is correct, but it feels like this bottom hasn't been reached yet
Once 445 breaks, it will slide immediately; don't be reckless and try to catch the bottom
It's better to wait and see at this point, wait for signals before acting
ZEC has been a bit sluggish lately, when will it pick up?

450 That pit is really deep, and we're about to get trapped again
---
Three times leverage? Bro, are you trying to play with fire
---
The main players who ran away have already sold out, and we're just here to pick up the pieces
---
If you're mainly defending, then just stop playing, and do nothing
---
Is there someone bottom-fishing at this position of 432? I don't believe it
---
Stop-loss lines are set, but still get slapped in the face, this is ZEC
---
Shorting is easy to execute but hard to implement, it still depends on the main players' mood
---
Once it breaks through 445, run, then just keep watching

450 is really a trap level; every rebound gets pushed back down.
With such obvious main force distribution, shorting requires caution to avoid being washed out. A 1x leverage is more stable.
There's really no chance for ZEC in this wave; better to stay on the sidelines.
Playing defensively sounds simple, but when the market is in front of you, it's still easy to get caught up.
Once 445 breaks, you really have to run; those who didn't heed the advice before suffered the worst.

According to on-chain data, the recent trapped positions in ZEC are indeed worth caution. The trading volume at the 450 level accounts for approximately 67% of the daily average, which from another perspective confirms signs of major players offloading.
However, it is important to add one point—based on historical review, similar weak consolidation patterns often trigger hidden stop-loss explosions during rebounds. It is recommended that under a 3x leverage, the actual stop-loss width should not exceed 2.3% of the 1-hour resistance level; otherwise, the risk curve will rise rapidly.
