Zcash Price Prediction: Robinhood Lists ZEC The Same Week THORChain Enables Native Swaps

Zcash trades at $356.15 on April 25, down 1% on the day but holding well above the Fibonacci support cluster that defined the January to March base, as two back-to-back integration announcements put $ZEC in front of an audience it has never had access to before.

The Fibonacci grid runs from the cycle low at $185.09 to the swing high at $554.07. $ZEC ran to the 0.786 level at $475.11 by mid-April before pulling back, and price is now sitting in the yellow zone between the 0.5 at $369.58 and the 0.382 at $326.04, with todays session at $356.15.

The MACD is trying to re-engage after the pullback, signal line above zero at 18.90 with the histogram turning green. All four EMAs sit below current price, the 20-day at $323.49 through the 200-day at $284.84, keeping the broader trend intact despite the recent fade.

• 200-day EMA: $284.84
• 20-day EMA: $323.49
• 0.382 Fib support: $326.04
• 0.5 Fib: $369.58
• Current price: $356.15

Robinhood listed Zcash earlier this week, giving the privacy coin direct access to one of the largest retail trading platforms in the United States. For a coin that has spent years on the margins of mainstream crypto accessibility, the listing represents a genuine liquidity event. Robinhoods user base skews toward retail investors who would not typically navigate a self-custody workflow to buy $ZEC, so the listing creates a pool of demand that simply did not exist before.

THORChain followed with its own announcement, confirming $ZEC is now enabled on the protocol and that native swap trading will begin in coming weeks as nodes add support and Bifrost scanning goes live. THORChain allows cross-chain swaps without wrapping or bridging, meaning $ZEC holders will be able to swap directly into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major assets without relying on centralized exchanges. The two announcements together address both ends of the accessibility spectrum, retail entry through Robinhood and decentralized liquidity through THORChain.

Why $ZEC Open Interest Is Rising Even As Volume Falls？

$ZEC Derivatives Data (Source: Coinglass)

Volume fell 15.50% to $1.51B while OI rose 5% to $683.49M. Volume dropping while OI rises points to existing positions being held rather than new ones being opened aggressively. The long/short ratio sits at 1.0877, barely long, while Binance accounts lean short at 0.6835 and OKX accounts lean even shorter at 0.53. Top traders on Binance sit at 0.6598 on accounts and 0.8512 on positions, all skewed toward the short side.

Over 24 hours, longs absorbed $459.89K in liquidations against just $2.85M for shorts. Longs are taking significantly more pain at current levels, consistent with buyers getting stopped out on failed attempts to reclaim the 0.5 Fib at $369.58. The OI chart shows current levels at $683.49M remain well below the late 2025 peak near $1.5B, leaving room for positioning to rebuild if the Robinhood and THORChain catalysts drive fresh inflows.

$ZEC Price Prediction: April 26 Outlook

• Upside:$ZEC holds the 0.382 Fib at $326.04 and reclaims $369.58 on a daily close, opening the 0.618 at $413.12 next. Robinhood inflows and THORChain liquidity going live give the move two independent tailwinds.
• Downside:The 0.382 Fib and 20-day EMA at $323.49 break together, putting the 50 and 100-day EMAs near $297 in view fast. Shorts are positioned and longs are already bleeding, so a crack below $326 could move quickly.
