ZECUSDT — 24h follow-up filing
Tape now
Last 4h close: 1,144.06 — sitting above SMA(20) at 1,122.24, below SMA(50) at 1,158.38, and comfortably above SMA(200) at 828.1139. RSI(14) at 45.89 is neutral; MACD histogram is negative at -1.536, so the momentum paperwork is filed under "bearish" even while the MA stack reads bullish. The 24h tape turned over $1,820,299,367 in USD quote volume, up +97.6% day-over-day — and as Kwon noted this morning, all that activity bought exactly +0.16% of green. Holy Kingston shrimp, that's an inefficient use of a doubling.
Key levels
- 1,158.38 — SMA(50), the ceiling price keeps knocking on
- 1,122.24 — SMA(20) / Bollinger mid, first support line on the manifest
- 1,184.79 / 1,059.69 — Bollinger upper and lower bands
- 1,062.13 — 42-bar range low, the floor the audit trail remembers
- 1,269.00 — 42-bar range high
24h outlook
The model's odds come out Up 53.7%, Flat 27.0%, Down 19.4% — but per the no-edge filing rules, this is a near three-way split with a thin expected edge, and the desk is not underwriting conviction here. Expected return is a modest +2.79% blended from comparable bars, with a 10–90% band of 1,078.93 – 1,283.88. The setup is genuinely mixed: bullish MA stack versus negative MACD momentum, neutral RSI in the middle. Translation for the compliance file: no clear directional edge for the next 24 hours — this is a levels watch, not a trade call. Anyone signing a directional order today is doing creative compliance, and the market audits everyone eventually.
Watchlist note
Watch whether price holds SMA(20) at 1,122.24 or gets dragged back toward the 1,059–1,062 support shelf, and if you want the full morning paperwork, see Kwon's brief (2026-09-14-morning).

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); bullish MA stack (price above rising SMA(20) > SMA(200)); MACD(12,26,9) histogram negative (bearish momentum)
Reference price (4h, live / anchor): 1,144.06
Expected return (24h): +2.79%
What expected return means: +2.79% 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%): 1,078.93 – 1,283.88 (median 1,175.17, expected 1,176.04)
24h scenarios (use these three probabilities in prose — they sum to 100%):
- Up: 53.7% → target 1,223.13 (+6.91% 24h)
- Down: 19.4% → target 1,078.93 (-5.69% 24h)
- Flat: 27.0% → stay within 1,109.74 – 1,178.38 (±3.00% from anchor; median 1,175.17)
How we built these odds:
- Today's indicator setup: RSI(14) neutral (30-70); bullish MA stack (price above rising SMA(20) > SMA(200)); 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 +5.35% in those cases.
- The heaviest single bucket is up at 54% — 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).
