Current weakness appears corrective for now, while key support remains at 2200–2100. A stronger break below 2000 would favor renewed bearish momentum.

Since finding buyers near 1750, price has been gradually compressing toward the 2440 area, which is confluent with the 2026 yearly VWAP, a level that will determine the next directional move. While the macro backdrop is largely shared with Bitcoin, ETH carries its own distinct catalysts, including the Glamsterdam protocol upgrade targeting June 2026, a landmark SEC ruling enabling staking within ETFs, record corporate treasury accumulation, and a still-fragile geopolitical setup that continues to set the tone for risk assets broadly. bitcoin ethereum ripple crypto by WorldSpectrum via Pixabay https://www.barchart.com/story/news/1498361/ethereum-at-the-gate-a-lagging-giant-coiling-for-its-move EdgeClear https://www.barchart.com/story/news/1495097/zcash-resumes-uptrend-wave-5-points-toward-major-highs Fri, 24 Apr 2026 09:31:42 +0000 Zcash resumes its bullish trend after completing a complex correction, with upside potential toward major resistance levels.

In 2026, it is increasingly part of a more practical retirement conversation, especially for investors who still want crypto exposure but no longer want every decision to feel disconnected from a long-term plan.

Since the start of April, a combination of ceasefire-related relief, renewed institutional ETF inflows, and continued corporate accumulation provided the sustained demand needed to bid prices back through the 74,000 area, which is also confluent with the 2026 yearly VWAP. Buyers were able to break above this level cleanly last Friday, April 18, and the coming weeks will determine whether this is a genuine shift from balance to expansion or a failed breakout that sends price back into the range.

Price is approaching the $74K–$80K resistance zone, where a rejection could trigger further downside. A break above $80K would signal a stronger, higher-degree recovery instead.

We have several key decisions lined up, starting with the RBA, followed by the BOC, and then the FED. Keep in mind that currencies are likely to react primarily to the hawkish or dovish expectations around each central bank. If the RBA, FED or BOC maintain a hawkish tone, their currencies such as AUD, USD or CAD could be pulled higher as markets adjust expectations toward tighter policy or delayed rate cuts. On the other hand, if the FED maintains a hawkish stance or signals that rates will remain higher for longer, the USD could remain supported. This creates an interesting dynamic and potential opportunities across different FX pairs.

Using IBIT as the listed proxy for Bitcoin exposure, the market has declined from the low 60s down into a major consolidation block from 2024. A combination of macroeconomic repricing, U.S. labor market data, geopolitical tensions, and more than two billion dollars in liquidations in a single session has temporarily overshadowed regulatory tailwinds and pressured risk appetite. The 35 level which corresponds to 61,638 area on Bitcoin, now represents a critical decision point. Whether buyers can defend this area will likely determine if the market balances and rebuilds value or accelerates toward deeper liquidation levels.
