Zcash bug shatters investor trust — ride the crypto panic down
Created
Thesis
A major hidden bug that could have destroyed the value of Zcash has severely damaged investor trust. Even though the developers patched the problem, the psychological shock of a near-miss catastrophe usually causes investors to stay away for a while. With trust broken, the coin faces heavy selling pressure as people move their money to safer cryptocurrencies.
Strategy approach
Build a short strategy for ZECUSDT. Use the 4-hour (H4) timeframe. Enter short on the next candle open following a sudden 15% intraday drop. Use a 2x ATR(14) stop loss. Set a take profit at 1.5x the risk.
