Sometimes to get another view of a token I charted against another token that closely tracked Bitcoin. In this case I'm charting zcash against Litecoin: LTCBTC / ZECBTC on The Daily chart. We can see Litecoin rise in relative value against zcash as it follows along with Bitcoin as Bitcoin pumps. The rise is fairly gradual as litecoin gains in value and zcash drops in relative value.
Then, the events of the last two days. We see a sharp drop off as the value of Litecoin against zcash precipitously drops, indicating much more than just the usual swings in relative value that you see when price ranges along a trend. The sharp dump indicates a break in the dynamics that have kept these coins associated together for so long.
Zcash is no longer attached to Bitcoins relative value and Litecoin's the way it was before, and it's now looking for a completely new place to go. My fervent hope and prayer is that the Dynamics of zcash Bitcoin and Litecoin continue to remain found in such a way that will some serious accumulation of both ZEC and LTC for the next few months, trading into Bitcoin when opportunities also present themselves to ultimately increase my Holdings of zcash and Litecoin.
What would be really awesome is if bitcoin and Litecoin just kind ranged here for a little while, while zcash exploded, allowing me to buy Litecoin on the cheap before the next big BTC pump, when it's time for another refersal. Money both ways, I say!
