The cryptocurrency market is currently consolidating, but several assets are witnessing increased buying pressure, pushing them into overbought territory.
Notably, analysis of on-chain data indicates that these assets are primarily within the privacy-focused sector.
Despite the momentum, the overbought condition suggests that traders may need to wait on the sidelines, as such moves could trigger a price correction.
Zcash (ZEC)
Zcash (ZEC) has been one of the strongest-performing privacy coins in recent weeks, but its technical indicators now signal caution.
As of press time, ZEC was trading around $417, down 0.09% in the last 24 hours and 3.51% over the past week, suggesting that short-term momentum may be cooling.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI), which measures market momentum, shows ZEC nearing 70, typically considered overbought.
According to the latest RSI data, ZEC’s 15-minute RSI sits at 51.39, one-hour at 53.09, four-hour at 61.98, 12-hour at 72.51, and 24-hour at 77.07, placing it solidly in the overbought zone across longer time frames.
Dash (DASH)
On the other hand, Dash (DASH) IS displaying an even more aggressive overbought profile. The token is trading at $89.78, up 1.05% in the past 24 hours and an impressive 30.53% for the week, reflecting strong speculative buying.
The RSI readings highlight this momentum: 15-minute at 63.06, one-hour at 78.76, four-hour at 91.45, 12-hour at 83.59, and 24-hour at 82.57, all deeply overbought.
Such elevated RSI levels suggest that DASH has entered an overheated zone where prices have surged much faster than underlying fundamentals can justify.
Just like ZEC, the coin’s sharp rally follows renewed attention on privacy assets and a technical breakout above key resistance, but the probability of a pullback or consolidation phase is high.
Despite these recent gains, DASH faces structural challenges, particularly from tightening global regulations on privacy coins, which could impact liquidity and exchange access.
