Recently, the fluctuations of ZEC have indeed made many people restless. Opening the candlestick chart, one begins to hesitate—buy the dip or wait and see? As an analyst who has been tracking the ZEC market long-term, today I will organize the logic behind this wave of correction, hoping to help you avoid some common operational pitfalls.

Let's start with basic concepts. Waves A, B, and C in the correction phase essentially reflect three stages of market sentiment. Wave A is the initial cooling of emotions, gradually warming up an overly exuberant market; Wave B is the most confusing rebound—it looks like the start of a new rally, but in reality, it often is a "bull trap"; Wave C is the final grind, and it is also the core period where opportunities are born.

This time, ZEC's Wave A performed very clearly—in terms of time, the entire downward cycle took 22 days, a number that is quite standard in historical emotional release cycles. But what truly deserves attention is the rhythm of Wave C.

According to classic wave theory and years of practical observation, the construction cycle of Wave C usually maintains a similar time span to Wave A, sometimes even longer in extreme market conditions. Looking back at the massive correction of ZEC in 2021-2022, the duration of Wave C reached 1.6 times that of Wave A, causing many traders who entered at high levels to be deeply trapped. This time, based on the candlestick cycles and volume changes over the past three months, the current fear and greed index is at a relatively low level, which usually indicates that the market is still in the bottoming phase.

In other words, the true end of Wave C may still require considerable time to confirm. Patience and a sense of rhythm in observation are often more valuable than aggressive operations.
