ZEC/USDT Long — October 14, 2025

Bias: a constructive long bias. Plan: go long 227. Suggested tiered take-profits are 254.24, 283.75 and 363.20. Protect the position with a stop at 201. Major macro prints can gap price; use OCO/limit execution and confirm retest holds before scaling in.

Market Context

Risk tone: balanced. ZEC in focus.

ZEC sits at the intersection of narrative and liquidity — a privacy-focused coin using zero-knowledge proofs; policy narratives and listings drive liquidity surges.

The trading plan is deliberately level-driven: respect 227 as the risk anchor and keep the stop at 201. Continuation signals are clean closes above prior supply and rotation toward the first resistance cluster. This pair trades on perpetual futures (.spot/linear) with funding as a positioning tell; prefer spot-led moves and trim if funding/OI spikes into resistance.

Technical

• Coil → break. Higher-low structure intact.
• Momentum favors continuation while above entry band.
• Targets measured from entry: 254.24, 283.75, 363.20.

Key Levels

• Entry: 227
• Targets: 254.24 → 283.75 → 363.20
• Stoploss: 201

Risk

OCO + size down if funding/OI rise. Define risk at 201 and do not average below it; a clean reclaim is the only valid re-entry signal.

Risk playbook (token-specific) for ZEC:

• When open interest balloons into a cap, derisk — liquidation cascades cut both ways.
• Cap daily loss at −2R and stop for the day; discipline compounds better than hero trades.
• Avoid adding above resistance after vertical candles; prefer limit orders in thin sessions.
