From the long-term point of view, ZEC smashed am important resistance of $56.00 created by SMA50 weekly and challenged $65.00 level. The coin is now trading at the highest level since the beginning of August 2019. Once a $65.00 barrier is out of the way, the upside momentum may gain traction with the next focus on $70.00. The ultimate long-term goal comes at $100.00 It is reinforced by SMA100 weekly ($104.00) and followed by $124.58, which is the highest level of 2019.
