The three main players in the short-term rebound market: STRK·ZEC·FET, a struggle above technical supply zones and support levels

As the cryptocurrency market recovers from short-term declines, tokens with distinct characteristics rather than top market cap majors are attracting market attention. Leading Ethereum scalability solution Starknet (STRK), zero-knowledge proof-based privacy token ZCash (ZEC), and AI ecosystem leader Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) each show clear technical signals, drawing investor interest.

All three tokens are experiencing short-term upward trends, but the stories told by their charts differ. STRK is signaling the start of a short-term trend reversal, ZEC is in a phase of reviving long-suppressed privacy coin demand, and FET is being tested to see if the AI narrative will translate into real value appreciation.

STRK: Breakthrough of Technical Supply Zone Amidst Layer2 Bullish Phase

Starknet (STRK) is currently trading around $0.08, with a 24-hour +2.02% increase. After consecutive gains over recent days, the price has successfully broken through the short-term resistance trendline on the 4-hour chart.

This movement indicates that Layer2 tokens are becoming sought-after “volatile assets” in the short-term rebound market. Currently, STRK is trading above the technical support level of $0.1973, the 4-hour 50-period exponential moving average (EMA), with a relative strength index (RSI) of 72, indicating high momentum.

The green histogram of the MACD is rising in a stair-step pattern, suggesting that this rally is not just a fleeting bounce but part of a structure that includes a mid-term correction, with room to push higher. The next target is the technical supply zone at $0.3139, the R2 pivot point.

However, assuming this upward momentum will continue without pause is risky. If short-term momentum weakens, the market will likely focus on the 50-period EMA near $0.1973 as the first defense line. If this level is broken, a return to the previous trading range becomes highly probable.

ZEC: Revival of Privacy Coins, Psychological Battle Before Technical Supply Zone

ZCash (ZEC) is currently trading around $440.76, with a 24-hour +5.92% increase. Since rebounding from the 50-period EMA, it has maintained an upward trend.

Looking at indicators, the MACD has crossed above the signal line, signaling bullish momentum, which suggests a structural trend reversal rather than a simple technical rebound. The RSI is at 58, not yet overbought, but shows a downward movement from recent highs, reflecting tension between buying and selling pressures.

The first psychological target is $700, but the real test for the privacy coin market is the 750-dollar technical supply zone above it. This zone has seen continuous sell-offs since November 7, and has been tested multiple times with attempts to break through, often resulting in rebounds. Regulatory changes could bring this supply zone back into focus.

If the price fails to reach $700 and reverses, the market will likely test the 50-period EMA at around $609 as the first support. If this level is broken, the next support is the S1 pivot point at $501. A sustained dip below $500 could mark the end of this rally, reverting to a short-term trading range within the previous box.

FET: Technical Validation Phase of the AI Narrative

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) is trading around $0.21, with a 24-hour +0.23% increase. After a sharp rise yesterday, it has entered a slight correction phase, which can be seen as a natural retest after breaking above resistance.

The key trendline connects recent highs formed in mid-November, and FET has broken above it and re-entered above that level. As AI infrastructure projects consolidate around the ASI alliance, FET is serving as a test of the “substantiveness of the AI narrative.”

Technically, the MACD’s green histogram bars are rising in a stair-step pattern, indicating ongoing short-term bullish momentum. The RSI is at 61, approaching overbought territory, with a gentle upward trend.

If this structure holds, the next technical supply zone at $0.3543, the R1 pivot point, will be the target. After a correction along the trendline, a renewed rise toward this level could be seen as a sign of genuine price stabilization, with investors viewing this breakout as a step toward establishing a new price range.

The critical factor for the bullish scenario is whether the 4-hour chart’s 200-period EMA at $0.3133 can be maintained. Falling below this support would weaken the trendline breakout momentum, possibly causing FET to revert to the previous trading range. If that happens, the market focus will shift to the 50-period EMA at $0.2944, which could serve as the next support. A sustained move below this level would mark a key turning point in assessing the continuation of the AI narrative.

Conclusion

All three tokens are engaged in clear battles around technical supply zones and support levels. STRK is at the early stage of Layer2 bullishness, ZEC is experiencing a revival of privacy coins, and FET is in the validation phase of the AI story. Investors should monitor the key technical levels—$0.1973 for STRK, $609 for ZEC, and $0.2944 for FET—to judge the sustainability of their short-term trends.
