Such rapid movements may seem exciting, especially after its nearly 2,000% surge since September.

This pattern often appears when volatility widens and buying power begins to weaken.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/img.cryptoquant.com\/331846\/quicktake\/RO4xn_f227ea79662581498077bd19d0073cb6d34e1f8ba066cd48f72dd8098e340693.png\" width=\"1280\" height=\"761\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: CryptoQuant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Not only that, but this condition often signals the beginning of a fairly violent reversal. Furthermore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/zcash-shielded-supply-rises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZEC\u2019s<\/a> recent parabolic rally is inextricably linked to a massive short squeeze. In the last 24 hours alone, more than $36 million in short positions was liquidated. This kind of forced buying can indeed cause prices to spike, but it\u2019s usually short-lived.<\/p>\n<p>Derivative movements also reflect a similar picture. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/ZEC\/futures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CoinGlass data<\/a> shows a volume surge of 82.31% to $9.84 billion, while open interest rose 34.12% to $1.28 billion. This level of activity sometimes indicates that more traders are trying to ride the wave of momentum, even though the market is already somewhat heated.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1229257\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1229257\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1229257 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ZEC-OI-15-nov.png\" alt=\"Zcash ZEC\" width=\"1847\" height=\"336\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1229257\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: CoinGlass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Furthermore, CryptoOnchain highlights that the final phase of the ZEC rally is now dominated by retail.
