ZECUSDT — 24h follow-up filing (compliance desk, Saturday edition)
Tape now
Price sits at 1,143.65, wedged under the SMA(20) at 1,178.21 but holding above the SMA(50) at 1,131.94 — a mixed stack that files under "Creative compliance" rather than a clean trend. RSI(14) at 36.33 is neutral, the MACD(12,26,9) histogram is negative at -7.112, and the last 4h bar printed 162,999.65 contracts against a 391,378.35 twenty-bar average — participation still coughing into a handkerchief, exactly as Kwon flagged this morning (2026-09-12-morning). The 24h USD quote volume of $2.80B is down 0.3% day-over-day and OI is off -3.7%; a rally nobody countersigned.
Key levels
- 1,178.21 — SMA(20) / Bollinger mid: the stamp desk. Price needs this back to look solvent.
- 1,131.94 — SMA(50): last line of structural support; lose it and the audit gets ugly.
- 1,099.75 — model's 10th-percentile floor and the Down-scenario target (-3.84%).
- 1,269.00 — 42-bar range high; 1,301.19 is the Bollinger upper if anyone's feeling heroic.
- 1,105–1,178 — the Flat-scenario corridor (±3.00% from anchor). Most paperwork dies here.
24h outlook
Straight from the filing cabinet: no high-conviction directional edge for the next 24h. The model's three-way split reads Up 52.4% (target 1,223.59, +6.99%), Down 10.5% (target 1,099.75, -3.84%), Flat 37.1% (holding 1,109.34–1,177.96),

24h Bayesian model
Horizon: 24h (6 bars on 4h)
Context: ~31.0d (186 bars loaded; recency weights ×2 last 7d, ×3 last 3d)
Market regime: RSI(14) neutral (30-70); mixed SMA(20) / SMA(200) alignment (no clean trend stack); MACD(12,26,9) histogram negative (bearish momentum)
Reference price (4h, live / anchor): 1,143.65
Expected return (24h): +3.73%
What expected return means: +3.73% is the blended average 24h move from past bars that looked similar to today — a slight upward lean on balance. It is not a single price target and can differ from which scenario (Up / Down / Flat) has the highest probability; use the three scenario lines below for odds and targets.
Price band (10–90%): 1,099.75 – 1,299.42 (median 1,179.75, expected 1,186.26)
24h scenarios (use these three probabilities in prose — they sum to 100%):
- Up: 52.4% → target 1,223.59 (+6.99% 24h)
- Down: 10.5% → target 1,099.75 (-3.84% 24h)
- Flat: 37.1% → stay within 1,109.34 – 1,177.96 (±3.00% from anchor; median 1,179.75)
How we built these odds:
- Today's indicator setup: RSI(14) neutral (30-70); mixed SMA(20) / SMA(200) alignment (no clean trend stack); MACD(12,26,9) histogram negative (bearish momentum).
- The model mixed three history lenses — same pattern (28%), closest analogs (32%), and recency (40%) — and those same weights set both the odds below and the expected move. The strongest pull came from the closest historical matches: on average, the next 24h moved +5.02% in those cases.
- The heaviest single bucket is up at 52% — the largest share of probability mass, not a guarantee. 'Flat' means staying within about ±3.00% of the anchor price over 24h.
- Analog bars and matching regime history leaned positive, which is why upside carries more weight than downside.
Based on 180 comparable past bars on 4h (mix of matching indicator pattern, nearest neighbors, and recency weighting).
