Zcash Price: $1,440 Support Tested After 5% Drop Zcash (ZEC) slipped 5% on Sunday, pulling back to $1,429 and ending a multi-day streak of double-digit gains that pushed the token to a year-to-date high of $1,590 on Sept. 18. The price found support above $1,440, leaving traders to assess whether that zone can hold after one of the sharpest rallies in the privacy-coin sector this year.

The retreat coincided with Grayscale’s announcement of a 3-for-1 share split for its Zcash ETF, effective Sept. 30.
