Its market capitalization briefly exceeded $25 billion, making it one of the 10 biggest digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>The main catalysts for its impressive rally included the broader market\u2019s resurgence, the\u00a0debut of the ZEC ETP in Europe, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/grayscales-zcash-etf-starts-trading-on-nyse-arca-with-a-2-5-sponsor-fee\/\">launch<\/a> of a spot Zcash ETF, and other factors. However, the crypto sector has seen a substantial correction over the last 24 hours, dragging the privacy coin down with it, and some analysts think the bull run may now turn into a violent crash.<\/p>\n<h2>Is the Rally Over?<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this week, ZEC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/zcash-tops-1600-after-europes-first-zec-etp-debuts\/\">surpassed<\/a> $1,600 for the first time since 2016. And while many expected the upswing to continue, the whole market <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-slumps-hard-after-another-1-60-rejection-btc-slips-below-84k-market-watch\/\">headed south<\/a>, and now the privacy token is worth roughly $1,470 (per CoinGecko).<\/p>\n<p>X user Crypto Patel <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoPatel\/status\/2102797642288005229\">noted<\/a> that ZEC has already delivered an \u201cextraordinary move,\u201d adding that anyone who accumulated during 2024-2025 has witnessed a massive return.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the analyst warned people to be highly cautious in the $1,600-$2,000 range, claiming that a cup-and-handle structure suggests this could mark the local top. The market observer argued that ZEC has started showing signs of \u201cextreme extension from a psychological perspective\u201d following the major rally.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto Patel then shared a long-term prediction that is clearly bearish. They believe that if the current cycle eventually enters a distribution and downtrend phase, the price could dump below $500 in the next 1-3 years. The analyst made an even grimmer forecast, envisioning a collapse to $200 if the long-term structure completely reverses.<\/p>\n<p>For their part, X user Zayn recently revealed that they made $30,000 after opening a short position on ZEC. They later <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Zaynnode\/status\/2102931001823375586\">said<\/a> the paper profit has risen above $60,000, calling it one of their \u201cbiggest wins this year\u201d and wondering whether to keep the position open until they potentially make $100K.<\/p>\n<h2>Are the Bulls Coming Back?<\/h2>\n<p>ZEC\u2019s recent correction shouldn\u2019t be directly interpreted as the end of the overall upward trajectory. After all, the asset has been on a tear for quite some time, and pullbacks are an inevitable part of the whole move.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, some investors have started abandoning centralized platforms and shifting into self-custody solutions after a period of flocking into exchanges. The latest development is clearly bullish, as it reduces immediate selling pressure and could open the door to a rebound.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1449516\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1449516\" style=\"width: 1367px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1449516 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3.png\" alt=\"ZEC Exchange Netflow\" width=\"1367\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3.png 1367w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-1024x303.png 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-768x228.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-90x27.png 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-150x44.png 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-1200x356.png 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-1000x296.png 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-900x267.png 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-800x237.png 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-700x207.png 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-600x178.png 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-500x148.png 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-400x119.png 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-200x59.png 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-Exchange-Netflow-3-100x30.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1367px) 100vw, 1367px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1449516\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ZEC Exchange Netflow, Source: CoinGlass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/zcash-zec-slips-8-daily-heres-why-one-analyst-believes-the-price-could-crash-to-200\/\">Zcash (ZEC) Slips 8% Daily: Here\u2019s Why One Analyst Believes the Price Could Crash to $200<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The popular privacy coin has stunned the crypto community after its price exploded by over 2,600% over the past year.
