Analysis summary
Technical asset picture
Zcash (ZEC) currently has a total score of 47 points, placing it in the neutral range. The score is made up of Performance (74), Stability (6) and Trend (43). The profile is clearly uneven: Performance stands out while Stability lags.
Performance scores 74 points (strong). Key strength: 1Y return at 564.1 %. Even the weakest return is still strong in absolute terms: 5Y return at 30.4 %. This points to a sharper upswing more recently.
Stability scores 6 points (very weak). Key strength: return/volatility ratio at 3.81. Main drag: volatility (365d, annualized) at 148.0 %. That implies very high day-to-day swings. Higher Stability points are better and typically reflect calmer swings and smaller drawdowns-but prices can still fall.
Trend scores 43 points (neutral). Key strength: 12M momentum at 500.0 %. Weaker signal: Price is about 18.7 % below SMA100.
Overall, the picture is mixed: Performance does the heavy lifting while Stability holds the score back. On a metric level, 1Y return stands out, while volatility (365d, annualized) is the main weak spot.
