BREAKING
Zcash ($ZEC) was priced at $563.72 as of August 20, 2026 at 12:38 UTC, reflecting a 24-hour gain of 11.3% and a more modest 1-hour move of 0.28%, according to data sourced from Coinglass.
The token’s market capitalization stood at $9.52B, while open interest across derivatives markets reached $1.08B — a figure that signals substantial leveraged positioning. The funding rate clocked in at 0.0097%, indicating a mild but positive bias among futures participants.
Trading activity was elevated, with 24-hour volume recorded at $3.12B. Liquidations over the same period totaled $25.83M, suggesting a portion of leveraged positions were forced out during the sharp price move.
On the technical side, RSI readings across timeframes showed a mixed but elevated picture: 61.57 on the 1-hour chart, 72.32 on the 4-hour — a level generally associated with overbought conditions by analysts — and 66.44 on the daily. The 4-hour RSI figure in particular may warrant attention for traders monitoring momentum exhaustion, though interpretation of these levels remains subjective.
Broader sentiment indicators placed the Fear & Greed Index at 61 out of 100, reflecting a market leaning toward greed. The Altcoin Season Index registered 40 out of 100, suggesting the broader altcoin market has not yet entered a fully dominant rotation phase relative to Bitcoin.
