On Wednesday, the Zcash Foundation announced a significant development 
regarding its ongoing operations: the US Securities and Exchange Commission 
(SEC) has concluded its investigation into the public charity. This news has 
sparked a notable recovery in the price of the Zcash native token (ZEC), 
signalling renewed investor confidence, with trading volume surging by 39% 
over the past 24 hours. Zcash Foundation Cleared By SEC The Zcash foundation 
received a subpoena from the regulatory agency back in August 31, 2023, as 
part of a broader inquiry titled “In the Matter of Certain Crypto Asset 
Offerings (SF-04569).” Related Reading: XRP Potential: Four Q1 2026 Triggers 
That Might Propel Price Beyond $8 After a thorough review, the Zcash 
Foundation was informed that the SEC does not plan to recommend any 
enforcement actions or changes pertaining to the organization. This comes amid 
significant regulatory changes towards digital assets under the Trump 
administration, including the appointment of the pro-crypto Paul Atkins as 
chair of the SEC. Similar enforcement actions against firms such as Uniswap 
(UNI), Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD) were dropped last year. ZEC Price 
Surges Near $440 In their statement, the foundation expressed satisfaction 
with the outcome, emphasizing their commitment to transparency and adherence 
to regulatory standards. They reiterated their focus on advancing financial 
infrastructure that preserves user privacy for the greater good. Related

Liquidity Withdrawal Following this announcement, ZEC experienced a robust 
increase of 12%, pushing its price to approximately $437.75 at the time of 
writing. This surge comes after the cryptocurrency had recently dipped to a 
near one-month low of $363 last Saturday, illustrating a significant 
turnaround. However, even with this recent boost, the Zcash token still has a 
long way to climb. The cryptocurrency remains 86% below its all-time high of 
over $3,191, according to CoinGecko data. Featured image from DALL-E, chart

Crypto analyst Morja has revealed his PEPE price prediction, alluding to the 
level the meme coin must hold to sustain its bullish momentum. Another crypto 
analyst painted a scenario in which the meme coin replicates the parabolic run 
it recorded in 2023. PEPE Price Could Sustain Bullish Momentum If It Holds 
This Level In an X post, Morja stated that a weekly candle close above the red 
level at $0.000005853 for the PEPE price would confirm a successful retest and 
reinforce the bullish movement. He further remarked that as long as the price 
holds above this level, upside continuation remains favored. Related Reading:

However, the analyst warned that on the way toward $0.000010867, a key 
resistance is located around $0.0000083, which may act as a significant 
reaction zone before any further upside continuation. Meanwhile, crypto 
analyst StudyE has painted a scenario in which the PEPE price goes parabolic, 
replicating its historic 2023 run. The crypto analyst stated that this would 
happen if the PEPE price pumps into the January 15 to February 15 window. He 
further explained that the meme coin needs to be at the unfinished monthly 
candle in that time window in order to invalidate this. An invalidation would 
send PEPE higher first, and then the bottom would be in. If that doesn’t 
happen, it may have one more hurdle to overcome. StudyE stated that no matter 
the path the PEPE price takes, it would lead to the same outcome and 
timeframe. Based on this, he declared that the fourth quarter of this year 
will be parabolic, regardless of what happens. It is worth mentioning that 
PEPE has been one of the best-performing crypto assets to start the new year, 
with the meme coin up over 30% year-to-date (YTD). PEPE Eyes Rally To 
$0.00000728 In The Short Term Crypto analyst CryptoLinx has predicted that the 
PEPE price could rally to $0.00000728 in the short term. The analyst noted 
that PEPE is breaking out of the downward channel right now and that the 
target for this pattern is a move back to the previous high. This is a level 
that the meme coin had reached at the beginning of the year, when it rallied 
by as much as 80%. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts 430% PEPE Price Rally If 
This Level Holds In the long term, crypto analyst Eco Nomad stated that the 
PEPE price will rally to $0.00001, which is the midpoint of the Gaussian 
channel. If the meme coin breaks that level, he is confident that it could 
trade within the 4 zeros, having deleted one zero in the process. At the time 
of writing, the PEPE price is trading at around $0.000006670, up almost 14% in 
the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from
