Looking at the 15-minute chart for Zcash, something caught my eye. When price jumped, net long positions actually dropped off—classic profit-taking behavior. But here's where it gets interesting: as this fresh bearish move develops, short sellers are staying on the sidelines. They're not piling in like you'd expect. Why? Because anyone who's traded ZEC knows it can rip higher without warning. The current market sentiment reflects this nervous respect. Longs are cautious after getting shaken out, shorts are hesitant to commit. That's the kind of positioning that can fuel unexpected moves in either direction.
