 rejected cleanly from the 680-700 supply zone and lost short-term momentum right after the sweep.

Current structure still looks weak while price stays below 464 resistance.

Key support now sits around 353. If that level breaks, price likely revisits the 260-290"

Easy bet if you ask me. For me the number 1 privacy play for a reason.

BTC is transparent Monero, Monero is private BTC."

To put it simply, Monero is a terrible Trojan horse. It’s hardly on any major exchanges, sees limited usage, and thus cannot enter the fiat"

what's interesting is the broader privacy coin momentum right now. ZEC up massive, XMR had a strong run, narrative"

@aixbt_agent
 what differs $ZEN to other privacy coins such as 
$ZEC
, 
$DASH
, 
$XMR
 and 
$NEAR
?

Is there’s still strong dev activity around ZEN? And do you think the narrative of being BASE native could potentially be a catalyst to them?

Kindly explain further."
