Zcash (ZEC) is under short-term pressure as the price approaches a key support zone, drawing attention from the market. ZEC has been decoupling from the broader crypto market, making technical levels increasingly important.

At the time of writing, ZEC is trading at $375.2, down 3.96% over the last 24 hours, with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.52 billion and a market capitalization of $6.12 billion. Despite the recent decline, the ZEC continues to attract attention as investors watch for potential support and resistance zones.

Zcash Eyes Critical Resistance Before Rally

Popular crypto analyst Tryrex highlighted that the $375 area at present offers the best opportunities for long positions. As the analyst has indicated, ZEC has adhered strictly to levels of resistance and support in the market in the last couple of weeks.

However, Tryrex also emphasized patience by saying that he would like to see one more clear confirmation before he considers an entry, and shared a setup as an idea rather than as an opportunity.

From a technological perspective, the important resistance level for ZEC in the coming periods will be $440. This area has been a major barrier in the past, and any attempt above it will encounter sell pressure in this region.

Breaking out past $440 could be a sign that momentum is shifting, which could pave the way for a stronger rebound. For now, ZEC could continue to have recovery issues.

Zcash Faces Rising Downside Risk

Meanwhile, another analyst named GainMuse noted that the increasing downside risks. He pointed out that the price pressure is slowly building as ZEC moves lower in the constricting price range.

These types of formations are usually seen before a strong price movement, and if the selling momentum keeps building around the current level of the breakdown, the price may move down to the lower support levels.

Overall, Zcash is at a crucial point, and its market movement is based on important technical levels. Although market volumes indicate strong interest in it, its short-term market movement is dependent on whether it can hold support at $375 or if it will move lower.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut.

She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
