Privacy Coins in Focus: Monero and ZCash Hold Key Support as Upside Builds

Key Highlights

• Monero reclaimed the $420 level, a long-term resistance dating back to 2017, shifting its technical structure bullish.

• Momentum indicators for XMR point higher, with traders targeting $445 and a Fibonacci extension near $479.

• ZCash rebounded sharply from $384, reclaiming the $400–$402 support zone in a V-shaped recovery.

While much of the crypto market remains constrained by weak sentiment and macro uncertainty, privacy-focused tokens have shown relative strength. Monero and ZCash are attracting renewed interest as traders rotate into assets displaying clearer technical setups and improving momentum. Both tokens are holding above key support zones, prompting expectations of further upside if current levels continue to attract buyers.

Behind every emerging crypto trend lies not only data and trading activity but also the way narratives shape market perception. Outset PR has built a reputation for aligning brand storytelling with these cycles, helping blockchain and Web3 projects establish visibility at moments of strategic inflection.

Monero Breaks Long-Term Resistance

Monero has reclaimed the $420 level, a critical resistance zone that has capped price action repeatedly since 2017. The breakout marks a notable shift in structure and has drawn in technically driven buyers.

Momentum indicators support the move. The MACD has printed a bullish crossover, with the MACD line at 8.85 moving above the signal line at 7.76. The 14-day RSI stands at 55.9, indicating neutral-to-bullish conditions rather than an overextended market.

The 7-day simple moving average, near $414.33, has now turned into support, reinforcing the strength of the breakout.

Upside Targets Draw Trader Interest

With $420 reclaimed, technical traders are targeting the $445.22 swing high as the next near-term objective. Beyond that, Fibonacci extension levels point to a potential move toward $479.29 if momentum remains intact.

Sustained daily closes above $420 could act as a catalyst for additional inflows, particularly from swing traders who tend to chase confirmed breakouts. Such a move would likely increase short-term volatility as positioning builds.

ZCash Reclaims $400 After Sharp Rebound

ZCash has staged a strong recovery, rebounding from $384 to around $409.56 in a V-shaped move. The rally allowed ZEC to reclaim the $400–$402 zone, an area that now serves as short-term support.

Market data suggest mid-sized traders accumulated aggressively during the dip, helping stabilize prices and reverse the downtrend. The speed of the recovery highlights improving confidence among active participants.

Momentum Improves, Resistance Remains

ZCash momentum indicators have turned constructive. The MACD histogram has flipped positive at +1.03 for the first time in weeks, signaling a shift toward bullish momentum.

On the upside, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement near $557.41 remains the key resistance level. In the near term, short-term traders are focusing on the $420–$430 range as a liquidity target, where profit-taking and increased activity are likely.

How Outset PR Optimizes PR Budgets and Delivers Tangible Results

The purpose of any PR campaign is to boost brand visibility. Traditionally, this has meant securing as many publications as possible, often with unpredictable outcomes. It was difficult to know how many readers would actually see a story, leaving much of PR to guesswork. 

Actually, it had been guesswork until analysts of Outset PR developed Syndication Map—a proprietary tool that identifies which outlets attract the most traffic and where a story is likely to achieve the strongest syndication lift. Senior Media Analyst Maximilian Fondé explains:

If a company needs a top list article, we filter the table for media that publish this format, cross-check costs and placement conditions, and know within minutes which outlets to pitch. Over time, that builds into a comprehensive database of crypto-friendly publishers – something other players in the industry don't have right now.

Smarter Campaigns, Lower Costs

Campaigns built with Syndication Map are not about mass reach for its own sake. They are carefully crafted to serve specific goals. By narrowing the focus to the most effective outlets, Outset PR reduces unnecessary spending on low-impact publications.

Another key factor is communication. Outset PR’s dedicated Media Relations team, led by Anastasia Anisimova, has earned the trust of leading outlets through professionalism and genuine relationships.

Sincerity and friendliness are our core principles, earning us the trust of numerous media outlets. Unfortunately, not all agencies in our industry prioritize friendliness in their communications.

Extended Reach Through Syndication

Outset PR campaigns also achieve more visibility than clients initially pay for. Articles are frequently republished across aggregators and platforms such as CoinMarketCap and Binance Square, extending exposure far beyond the original placement. Well-placed articles can achieve up to ten times the outreach of the original post.

The case of StealthEX demonstrates this effect clearly: targeted tier-1 pitching led to 92 republications across outlets including CoinMarketCap, Binance Square, and Yahoo Finance, generating a total outreach of over 3 billion.

Outset PR Sets a New Standard  

Pitching to a major outlet still has value, but syndication often delivers far greater reach at a lower cost. Outset PR has mastered this strategy, combining proprietary tools, strong media relations, and syndication opportunities to deliver results backed by numbers.

Outlook: Strength Builds Above Support

Monero and ZCash are showing signs of accumulation and improving momentum at a time when many large-cap cryptocurrencies remain range-bound. As long as XMR holds above $420 and ZEC maintains support above $400, the technical bias favors further upside rather than a return to recent lows.

A broader breakout will still depend on follow-through buying and market conditions, but for now, privacy coins are among the few segments displaying constructive price action.
