ZEC is showing relative strength despite the broader market pullback, and the author sees it as a potential strong performer next year if privacy interest grows and it continues to outperform Bitcoin. Key levels are $1,030–$1,100 support and $1,370–$1,440 resistance; the author is watching for a breakout above the Q4 open or a deeper pullback to support, while avoiding trades in the choppy middle of the range.
