Zcash went on an electric run between September and November, soaring around 18x from $40 to $700. After a cooling-off period in the following weeks, it has started to pick up steam again. It fell to a low of $306 last week, but has rebounded to roughly $400 as of this morning.<\/p>\n
The move gathered significant traction over the last 24 hours, with the ZEC price soaring 12%. Interestingly, one analyst has uncovered data that suggests this rally is fueled not by retail investors, but by whales.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an excellent sign that smart money is moving in, but it\u2019s not really surprising. After more than a 50% dip, whales now see ZEC as a bargain opportunity, so they\u2019re seizing it with both hands.<\/p>\n
With that in mind, our Zcash price prediction explores where ZEC could go in the weeks ahead. We\u2019ll also look at an emerging, high-potential altcoin called Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER)<\/a>, which is attracting interest from whales at the moment.<\/p>\n This publication is sponsored.

At the same time, whales have aggressively accumulated, with their volume \u201cgoing vertical.\u201d<\/p>\n Ardi highlights that retail and mid-sized holders sold around $30 million in recent hours, while whales accumulated $100 million. Large players are absorbing supply far faster than smaller holders can offload it, helping fuel bullish momentum.<\/p>\n $ZEC<\/a> \/ Zcash<\/p>\n This is the definition of institutional absorption.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve broken down the participants by purchasing power to show you exactly who is driving this train.<\/p>\n My data points:<\/p>\n > Retail ($0 \u2013 $1k): Aggressively Selling<\/p>\n > Mid-Sized ($1k \u2013 $100k): Aggressively Selling<\/p>\n >\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/hMUoC4NtXN<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/s5wkrRCqZz<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ardi (@ArdiNSC) December 8, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
