What&#8217;s next?"},"content":{"rendered":"<div>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;margin: 7px 0;line-height: normal;font-size: 15px\">Zcash has recently<br \/>\n        completed its major NU7 network upgrade, which went live on November 6. The<br \/>\n        upgrade reduced the target block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, making<br \/>\n        private payments significantly faster. It also introduced changes to<br \/>\n        transaction fee allocation to support future mining rewards. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;margin: 7px 0;line-height: normal;font-size: 15px\">Meanwhile,<br \/>\n        developers are already discussing a further reduction in block times to 20<br \/>\n        seconds through a potential NU7.1 upgrade. These developments provide a<br \/>\n        positive fundamental backdrop, although the macroeconomic and geopolitical drivers<br \/>\n        will remain important drivers of ZEC&#8217;s near-term price action. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;margin: 7px 0;line-height: normal;font-size: 15px\">We had some<br \/>\n        positive headlines yesterday that increased hopes for a US-Iran deal, although<br \/>\n        no concrete breakthrough has been achieved yet. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;margin: 7px 0;line-height: normal;font-size: 15px\">Today, the focus<br \/>\n        will be on the US CPI report. The Y\/Y figures will be unavailable because of last<br \/>\n        year&#8217;s government shutdown. All eyes will be on the Core CPI M\/M.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;margin: 7px 0;line-height: normal;font-size: 15px\">Fed\u2019s Waller has<br \/>\n        already signalled that he would support a December rate hike even if October<br \/>\n        inflation improves compared with September. More importantly, he said that a Core<br \/>\n        CPI reading of 0.3% or higher could justify a larger 50 bps hike.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;margin: 7px 0;line-height: normal;font-size: 15px\">A more hawkish Fed<br \/>\n        without an end to the Iran war is going to weigh heavily on Zcash and the \u00a0crypto market in general.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;margin: 7px 0;line-height: normal;font-size: 15px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;line-height: 104%;font-size: 15px\">ZCASH TECHNICAL ANALYSIS \u2013 DAILY TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;margin: 7px 0;line-height: normal;font-size: 15px\">On the<br \/>\n        daily chart, we can see that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/ZECUSD\/\" style=\"text-decoration: underline\" rel=\"follow\">Zcash<\/a>eventually rejected the 1,380<br \/>\n            resistance and erased most of last week\u2019s gains. The price remains stuck in a<br \/>\n            wide range, with the 1,031 level acting as support. If the price gets there, we<br \/>\n            can expect the buyers to step in, with a defined risk blow the support, to<br \/>\n            position for a rally back into the 1,380 resistance. The sellers, on the other<br \/>\n            hand, will look for a break lower to increase the bearish bets into the major<br \/>\n            upward trendline around the 800.00 level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;line-height: 104%;font-size: 15px\">ZCASH TECHNICAL ANALYSIS \u2013 4 HOUR TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;margin: 7px 0;line-height: normal;font-size: 15px\">On the 4<br \/>\n        hour chart, we have a downward trendline defining the bearish momentum. If we<br \/>\n        get a pullback, we can expect the sellers to lean on the trendline, with a<br \/>\n        defined risk above it, to keep targeting the support. The buyers, on the other<br \/>\n        hand, will look for a break higher to pile in for a rally into the resistance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px;font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;line-height: 104%;font-size: 15px\">ZCASH TECHNICAL ANALYSIS \u2013 1 HOUR TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 0;margin-left: 0;font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;font-size: 16px\">On the 1 hour chart, there\u2019s<br \/>\n        not much we can add here as the sellers will have a better risk to reward setup<br \/>\n        around the trendline, while the buyers will need a break above the trendline or<br \/>\n        a move into the support.
