- Zcash has climbed to $1,033.60, extending a powerful rally that has pushed ZEC to levels not seen in nearly a decade.
- The latest move has forced millions of dollars in short positions to close as the token breaks above key psychological levels.
- Strong momentum, growing institutional access and renewed interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies are keeping ZEC firmly in the spotlight.
Zcash is trading at $1,033.60 after gaining 7.05% over the past 24 hours, extending a rally that has placed the privacy-focused cryptocurrency among the marketโs strongest performers.

Short sellers have faced increasing pressure as ZEC continues to move against bearish positions.
