Zcash price slides 5% to $410 as bears cap rebound and bulls eye $1,000 target into 2026

Zcash has fallen about 5–6% over the past 24 hours to roughly $410–$417 after failing to hold above the $420 support level. The privacy-focused cryptocurrency previously spiked to $744 in November before dropping to $313 in early December 2025 and now faces renewed selling pressure. Some market projections still see a potential move toward $1,000 over the next 12 months, with long-term adoption in financial privacy highlighted as a possible tailwind in 2026.
