Zcash climbed 11.99% over the past 24 hours on October 21, 2026, lifting its price to $1,280.79 and pushing its market capitalization to $21.42 billion. The move marked one of the more notable single-session advances for the privacy-focused digital asset in recent trading.
The daily rally extended a modest weekly recovery, with ZEC now up 3.09% over the past seven days. That stretch of gains has provided some relief to holders following a prolonged stretch of selling pressure.
Despite the short-term rebound, the broader trend remains negative. Zcash has declined 16.64% over the past 30 days, meaning the asset has surrendered a significant portion of its value even as it stages a near-term recovery. The 30-day loss continues to weigh on the asset's overall performance picture.
The combination of a sharp daily gain alongside a steep monthly decline reflects the volatile trading conditions that have characterized Zcash and the broader cryptocurrency market in recent sessions.
