According to Michaël van de Poppe (source: https://x.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1995886425963954303), ZEC has delivered no upward returns because peak hype at the top led to a sharp drop after long-side liquidity was taken out. According to the same source (https://x.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1995886425963954303), with long liquidity cleared, he sees potential for a bounce from the current region but emphasizes this is not a trend reversal. For trading, this implies ZEC is a tactical short-term bounce setup rather than a new uptrend, according to the same source (https://x.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1995886425963954303).

According to @RhythmicAnalyst, recent posts mislabeling ZEC and other altcoin pullbacks as bear markets overlook that counter-trend moves during an uptrend are detours and delays, not reversals, source: @RhythmicAnalyst. According to @RhythmicAnalyst, traders should avoid premature bear-market calls when the broader trend is up and treat pullbacks as counter-trend retracements within the prevailing trend, source: @RhythmicAnalyst. According to @RhythmicAnalyst, better education on how price trends work is needed to correctly classify these moves for trade positioning and timing, source: @RhythmicAnalyst.

According to @CoinMarketCap, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin urged Zcash to resist token voting, warning that shifting away from its committee-based governance could erode the privacy coin’s core features, as highlighted in @CoinMarketCap’s X post. Zcash currently relies on committees and the Zcash Community Advisory Panel rather than coin-weighted voting for funding and roadmap decisions, as outlined by the Zcash Foundation’s governance documentation. Buterin has previously argued that coin voting can be vulnerable to plutocratic capture and short-termism, reinforcing his caution for ZEC governance, as detailed in his essay Moving beyond coin voting governance on the Vitalik Buterin blog. For traders, any move toward token voting would be a material governance catalyst for ZEC because it impacts treasury control and privacy roadmap oversight, making headline monitoring of Zcash proposals and foundation announcements prudent, based on the roles described by the Zcash Foundation and the signal flagged by @CoinMarketCap.
