February 13 News, privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash has recently come under significant pressure. In the past 24 hours, its price has dropped approximately 7%, and over the past week, large holders’ holdings have decreased by about 38%, sparking strong concerns about its medium-term trend. Although the asset still experienced a roughly 5.8% rebound within a week, its monthly decline has exceeded 40%, with volatility significantly amplified.
On-chain data shows that while there was a brief net outflow of funds on February 12, indicating some low-level absorption, subsequent inflows of exchange-related tokens continued to increase, suggesting that more Zcash is moving from private wallets into circulating addresses. This structural change is often interpreted as a potential bearish signal. Meanwhile, the top 100 addresses still control about 70% of the total supply, indicating high concentration and making the price more susceptible to large holder actions.
From a technical perspective, analysts have identified a classic bearish flag pattern on the daily chart. This pattern typically appears during a sideways correction after a rapid decline, and once it breaks downward, subsequent drops tend to be proportional to the previous decline. Based on current estimates, if the pattern completes, Zcash could face nearly 66% downside. Additionally, from October last year to February this year, the price has been steadily rising, but the RSI has been gradually declining, forming a prolonged bearish divergence that indicates momentum is waning.
The RSI remains in a downward channel, and the gap between price and momentum indicators continues to widen, reflecting insufficient buying strength. The on-chain “smart money” indicator remains stable, with no clear signs of accumulation. Market observers note that the recent relative resilience during downturns coincides with large holders dispersing their positions, which introduces instability at current price levels.
In the short term, if the price cannot effectively break through the resistance zone above or falls below key support levels, selling pressure could further intensify. Investors should closely monitor on-chain liquidity changes and key technical levels to assess subsequent risks.

RAVE’s hype surge triggers a flood of copycat coin mania, as FF and INX expose the “pump-and-dump” scheme
Recently, altcoins represented by RAVE have sparked a fierce investment craze, but some old star projects like FF and INX have used this wave of hype to carry out “pump-and-dump” operations—rapidly driving up coin prices to lure retail investors to buy, and then dumping them heavily, causing the price to plunge rapidly. Such behavior not only exposes the project team’s funding difficulties, but also damages investors’ trust. Investors need to stay alert to signals like abnormal short-term surges in order to avoid the risk of being manipulated by the market.

On April 13, Bitcoin rose from its early-session low of 70,741 to trade as high as $74,900 during the session, approaching the $75,000 level. The main drivers came from two directions: after Trump ordered the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, traders began to view Bitcoin as a geopolitical hedge asset; and a massive net short position that had been building as funding rates stayed persistently negative was met with liquidation, triggering a chain of liquidations totaling millions of dollars near the $70,000 support level.
