  "account": "Zcash (ZEC) experienced a nearly 6% drop over the past week, following a decade-high rally that pushed the token to new heights. Trading volumes are currently high at $1.4 billion, representing over 7% of the asset's circulating market cap. A sell wall at $1,300 emerged amid deteriorating macroeconomic conditions in the United States. A brief rally across crypto assets ensued due to improved inflation figures, but it fizzled out as the odds of a rate hike during the next FOMC meeting rose to nearly 90%. The FOMC is set to convene on September 16, with Chairman Kevin Warsh's comments expected to give insight into the institution's approach to controlling inflation. The White House is advocating for a rate cut, despite the potential for increased inflation in the near term. Zcash has also outperformed its peers this year with a 112% gain in 2026, driven by its privacy feature and clear use case. The Zcash blockchain has weathered recent turmoil, including an exploit in an audit that allowed token minting, but the community swiftly resolved the issue by launching a new vault named Ironwood. Shielded transactions on the Zcash network have reached their highest levels in nearly two years, constituting 56% of all transactions. This suggests strong adoption of the network's core privacy feature. Technical analysis shows a bearish divergence in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), indicating weakening positive momentum. This technical signal often precedes a significant correction and is common in late-stage bullish price movements. Experts believe Zcash will retreat to $850 due to drying liquidity at high levels, primarily as a result of the challenging macroeconomic backdrop. Traders may hedge their long positions by selling or buying put options, increasing selling pressure. While a drop to $850 could present late buyers a chance to position themselves for the continued uptrend, Zcash's long-term target remains $2,500 after an ascending triangle breakout.",
