Short sellers have taken the bigger hit as ZEC has climbed.
Total liquidations over 24 hours reached $6.50M, split between $2.94M in long liquidations and $3.56M in short liquidations.
The 12-hour window shows the imbalance even more clearly, with $809.05K in shorts wiped out against just $135.19K in longs, a sign the move has been catching short sellers off guard.
Futures volume is led by Binance at $968.92M, followed by OKX at $488.24M and LBank at $349.12M, with Bybit, Hyperliquid, and several other exchanges adding meaningful volume behind them.

A crypto trader on X , who posts as AltCryptoGems, recently flagged the current resistance zone as the level that decides ZEC's next move, noting that losing it could stall the rally for a while, but that the chart would still remain one of the strongest-looking setups in the market even after a pullback.

ZEC is consolidating tightly after its late-August breakout, currently trading at $828.318.
Price is holding inside a defined range between $764.342 support and $900.325 resistance, the shaded zone marking where buyers and sellers are fighting it out after the sharp move up from the $700 base.
This range is the key near-term battleground: EMA 20 at $743.839 and EMA 50 at $634.543 sit well below, both now acting as support rather than resistance.
A breakout above $900.325 opens the path toward the $1,153.010 (1.618 Fib) and $1,566.903 (2.618 Fib) extensions, while losing $764.342 would put the consolidation and the recent breakout back in question.
Key Levels
| Level | Price |
| Resistance 3 (Fibonacci 2.618) | $1,566.903 |
| Resistance 2 (Fibonacci 1.618) | $1,153.010 |
| Resistance 1 | $900.325 |
| Immediate Price Reference | $828.318 |
| Support 1 | $764.342 |
| Support 2 | $703.288 |
Bull case: Holding support 1 at $764.342 and clearing resistance 1 at $900.325 keeps the breakout alive and opens the door toward $1,153.010.
Bear case: A close back below $764.342 would put the breakout in question, with support 2 at $703.288 as the next level down.
$1,566.903 is the highest level on the chart, marked as the Fibonacci 2.618 resistance.
Getting there would take $ZEC clearing $900.325 first, then holding above the $1,153.010 extension, a multi-stage move rather than a single leg from here.
Bitcoin has been comparatively steady this week, with most bitcoin price prediction chatter centered on BTC price holding its range rather than a sharp breakout.
Zcash is the opposite story, up sharply and pushing to fresh highs on volume that has stayed elevated for days, not just hours.
That kind of sustained move is rare for an altcoin this size, and it's part of why ZEC is drawing more attention than BTC price action this week, even though Bitcoin still sets the tone for the broader market.
According to CoinGabbar analysts , The liquidation data lines up with the breakout: shorts, not longs, have taken the bigger hit, and the price is holding well above its EMA cluster for the first time in months.
The $764.342 to $900.325 zone is the one to watch.
