Zcash Explodes 700% Since September â Whatâs Driving The Rally Amid The Bear Market?
The price of Zcash is recording one of the most astonishing rallies in the crypto market despite the ongoing bearish conditions. Over the past few weeks, we have seen a resurgence in the privacy narrative. Zcash (ZEC), one of the oldest and best-known privacy coins, is up by about 700% since September. The pump in recent days is notable, as it comes at a time when the entire crypto industry is being dragged down due to Bitcoinâs decline towards $100,000. It raises the question of how Zcash is managing this performance, and there are different theories on social media as to why this is happening.

Zcash (ZEC) has risen over 700% since September 2025, reaching as high as $728 on November 7, according to data from CoinGecko. This rally comes ahead of its mid-November halving, which will halve block rewards to 0.78125 ZEC, tightening supply like Bitcoinâs events. According to a recent report analysis by Galaxy Digital, Zcashâs extraordinary rally can also be attributed to a revived interest in privacy within the crypto space. The report noted that although Zcashâs underlying fundamentals have not drastically changed, perceptions of its zero-knowledge proof system have. More than 30% of the coinâs total supply is now locked within shielded pools, representing an all-time high for private usage on the network. This rally means that some users are increasingly seeking privacy-centric solutions as mainstream networks grow more transparent and subject to surveillance. Another factor contributing to Zcashâs rise is the recent tech upgrades to its network. The introduction of the new Zashi wallet, which makes private transactions far more user-friendly, has expanded Zcashâs accessibility to a wider audience. Prominent voices like Naval Ravikant and Arthur Hayes have championed Zcashâs role in the evolving privacy revolution, calling it âthe missing piece for Bitcoin.â According to the BitMEX co-founder, Zcash has the potential to quickly achieve 10% to 20% of the value of Bitcoin, which would place its price between $10,000 and $20,000. Interestingly, Arthur Hayesâ Maelstrom fund now holds ZEC as its second-largest liquid asset. Can ZCASH Keep Pumping? Despite the euphoria, some analysts caution that Zcashâs dramatic rally may not be entirely rooted in long-term fundamentals. Economist Lyn Alden described the surge as a coordinated token pump, warning investors not to become exit liquidity. A crypto commentator known as Bit Paine on X suggested that the current Zcash rally may be a coordinated pump-and-dump, arguing that manipulators likely targeted the coin because privacy tokens had their big moment in 2017, meaning many new investors may be unaware of the pattern, and privacy-focused assets like Zcash make it easier for bad actors to conceal their activities from regulators.

At the time of writing, Zcash is trading at $580.67, having retraced from its intraday high of $734.96. Featured image from Vecteezy, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin Dominance Signals The Crypto Bull Run Remains Active â Analyst
The crypto market has endured a turbulent period in recent weeks, as the total market cap has crashed by over 18% in the last month, with Bitcoin leading the decline. Amid this heavy correction, data on Bitcoin Dominance counters circulating narratives of the market top being in. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Market Peak Indicators Says Hold Despite Crash Below $100,000, Whatâs Happening? Bearish Bitcoin Dominance, Bullish Market Outlook Popular market analyst with X username Colin Talks Crypto has shared some insights correlating the Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) with spotting altcoin and Bitcoin bull run peaks. Notably, Collin Talks Crypto responded to an analysis by Matthew Hyland, who highlighted that Bitcoin Dominanceâs weekly chart is exhibiting a bearish trend, characterized by a negative RSI setup and the formation of a bear flag pattern. Hyland explained that, while these indicators appear bearish for Bitcoin Dominance, they could actually signal a positive outcome for the broader market, as a potential capitulation in BTC.D might pave the way for widespread gains across all cryptocurrencies. Collin Talks Crypto expanded on this theory, stating that the final phase of the market bull run is usually characterized by a rise in Bitcoinâs price amid a simultaneous fall in BTC.D, i.e., an altseason, as previously seen in 2017 and 2021. In particular, the analyst stated that a fall in BTC.D. to below 49% has always confirmed the Bitcoin top for the cycle. He explains that following this event, investors should stay alert for altcoin profits that should follow. With the present Bitcoin Dominance around 61%, Bitcoinâs price still holds more room for growth before potentially recording a market peak. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces Potential 50% CrashâBut Analysts Say The Fear Is Overblown Bitcoin Market Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $102,283 after a slight price loss of 0.07% in the last day. Meanwhile, the daily trading volume is up by 25.29% and valued at $85.58 billion. Aside from the predicted crash in Bitcoin Dominance, Collin Talks Crypto has also noted other signals that suggest Bitcoin is yet to reach a market top. These include that the Bitcoin market never produced an euphoric or overheated sentiment when it established its present all-time high around $126,000, a pattern that typically accompanies cycle peaks. Meanwhile, the expected end of the US Federal Reserveâs quantitative tightening (QT) by December 1st, as announced by Jerome Powell, could further act as a bullish catalyst. Collin Talks Crypto also highlighted that this period may coincide with the anticipated US government reopening between mid-November and early December, adding to the potential convergence of supportive macro factors that could reignite the final lap of the bull run.
