When fear dominates the market, people often fail to see the true story. What I’ve learned is: let the data speak, rather than follow the emotional crowd.

Yesterday early morning, I placed a $430 ZEC buy order on the exchange, totaling $120 million. This is not out of spite or luck, but a decision based on in-depth observation of the market. I am very clear about the opponent I am dealing with — the major players trying to manipulate ZEC’s trend. I have seen through every move they make.

**From 730 to 416, it looks like a crash but is actually a shakeout**

When ZEC dropped from a high of $730 to around $416, the market’s voice was the same: "It’s over, this time it’s going to be bad." Social media was full of bearish sentiments, even holders started to waver. But I noticed something different.

The bottom is not a one or two-day event. In the $407-$416 range, there were three consecutive days of increased volume — daily trading volume was more than twice the average of the previous ten days. Such a scale of capital entering the market is definitely not something retail investors can orchestrate. Someone is quietly accumulating.

The previous resistance at $440-$445 is even more interesting. It has now become a cost absorption zone. What does this mean? The major players have already accumulated enough chips here and will not let the price fall easily.

All signals point to the same conclusion: this decline is essentially a building position by the major players, using panic sentiment to absorb retail chips. The story is far from over.
