Zcash (ZEC) price continues its strong upward momentum, trading above $680 at the time of writing on Monday, building on last week’s 47% rally. Derivatives market data show growing bullish sentiment, with Open Interest (OI) soaring to a new all-time high of $1.13 billion and long positions hitting a monthly peak. The technical analysis further supports the bullish outlook, with ZEC poised to target levels above $750 if the momentum persists.

Zcash’s derivatives data shows bullish bias

CoinGlass’ data shows that ZEC futures OI at exchanges rose to a new all-time high of $1.13 billion on Monday. Rising OI represents new or additional money entering the market and new buying, which could fuel the current ZEC price rally.

Additionally, the long-to-short ratio for the privacy-focused cryptocurrency stood at 1.06 on Monday, reaching the monthly high. This ratio, above one, reflects bullish sentiment in the markets, as more traders are betting on the ZEC to rally.

Some signs of concern 

Despite the bullish outlook for ZEC, CryptoQuant’s summary data shows some signs of concern to watch for. Both the spot and futures markets are showing signs of retail activity potentially overheating.
