Currently, it trades around $1,220 (per CoinGecko), representing a 150% monthly increase and a staggering 2,450% explosion on a yearly scale. The main drivers behind the spectacular surge include the launch of Grayscale\u2019s ZEC ETF, along with other factors, which you can explore in our detailed article <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/zec-just-hit-1200-what-you-need-to-know-about-its-meteoric-370-surge-in-3-months\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, three key developments suggest the asset\u2019s relentless climb may be coming to an end. The first one is the TD Sequential indicator, which, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2097977070097768948\">according<\/a> to analyst Ali Martinez, has flashed a sell signal on the 3-day chart.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe last time this setup appeared, on May 19, it resulted in a 64% price correction. Worth paying attention to this one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The second is ZEC\u2019s Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has surged past 70. This indicates that the token has entered overbought territory and could be gearing up for a pullback. Conversely, ratios under 30 are typically considered bullish.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1448212\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1448212\" style=\"width: 2202px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1448212\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI.png\" alt=\"ZEC RSI\" width=\"2202\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI.png 1387w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-300x55.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-1024x186.png 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-768x140.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-90x16.png 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-150x27.png 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-1200x218.png 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-1000x182.png 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-900x164.png 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-800x145.png 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-700x127.png 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-600x109.png 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-500x91.png 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-400x73.png 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-200x36.png 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI-100x18.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2202px) 100vw, 2202px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1448212\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ZEC RSI, Source: CryptoWaves<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Last but not least, investors have been shifting from self-custody to crypto exchanges.
