【$ZEC and $ZEN are no exceptions—cooling off before FOMC, privacy coins didn't escape】
ZEC rebounded from 1,040.38 to 1,224.46 this week, and today (September 15) it also fell back from the high, closing at 1,143.97; ZEN followed the same pattern, dropping from 6.637 to 6.270. This mirrors the same-day movements of $BTC, gold, and crude oil—whether mainstream assets or niche narrative coins, all are shrinking positions today.
This further confirms: what has truly dominated the market these days is the collective risk contraction across the entire market ahead of the FOMC decision (to be announced tomorrow at 2 AM Beijing time). Even sectors like ZEC that had independent rallies today were not spared—indicating that macro uncertainty ultimately overrides the independence of niche narratives.
Technically, ZEC's KDJ K value has dropped to 16.07, MACD red bars have expanded, showing a clear weakening of short-term momentum; ZEN is similar, with a KDJ K value of 18.48, also weak. But neither has fallen below this week's lows (ZEC at 1,040.38, ZEN at 6.073), indicating this is just normal profit-taking before the decision, not a trend reversal.
Tracking the short whale positions, unrealized losses should slightly narrow with this pullback; the fundamental long-short battle will also be decided tomorrow early morning.
