Zcash Breakout Alert: ZEC Eyes $500–$560 After Strong Consolidation

  1. Zcash (ZEC) is consolidating after a strong rally, with critical support near $400.
  2. Daily charts show a bullish breakout above $448, suggesting renewed buying pressure.
  3. Upside targets remain between $500–$560, while downside risk is limited to $330–$290 if key support fails.

Zcash (ZEC/USD) has been transitioning from a strong bullish impulse into a period of consolidation, according to market observers. The coin previously surged from the low-$200s to the $650–$700 range, establishing a clear bullish backdrop.

However, the market has since entered a corrective phase rather than collapsing, forming a symmetrical triangle defined by lower highs and higher lows. This structure suggests balance in the market: sellers are unable to push prices sharply lower, while buyers are cautiously accumulating.

Analysts believe that this triangle is a possible breakout formation and does not represent a specific timing signal. The apex of the triangle is approaching, so it is possible that ZEC will see a clear move soon.

The $400-$405 region is a primary support level. Previous instances have shown that a pullback towards that level saw a subsequent buying interest, making it a significant level. A breakdown from that region may lead the cryptocurrency towards $330 and $290.

Daily Charts Show Bullish Breakout

Recent daily market data from TradingView supports this positive notion. Zcash finished the day at $448.5, up roughly 7.5% after weeks of being below the level of resistance. There is no visible resistance in sight for this asset, which further suggests that an increase is well on the way rather than a downturn.

Structurally speaking, the uptrend line is still valid, as the price is holding up around the top of the channel. The use of +DI and -DI lines indicates that buyers are in control of the market, and the ADX also supports the fact that the market is in an active trend. The DPO indicator suggests that the downward pressure is reset, and there is room for an upside move.

Zcash Upside and Downside Scenarios

If ZEC holds within the current zone, a possible short- to mid-term rally could be between $500 and $560. These levels represent earlier breakdowns, as well as failed rallies, to act as a confirmation zone within the technical analysis.

A breakout above the upper trend line within the triangle, provided the $450 support is held, could initiate such a rally. Conversely, a breach below $400 could initiate a possible invalidation of the triangle, posing a risk towards $330-$290 if the zone persists below $400.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
