Zcash price alerts, set from how ZEC actually moves
A Zcash price alert watches ZEC and messages you when it hits a level or moves by a percentage you choose. Zcash moved 3.69% on a typical day over the last 365 days — about 3.1 times as much as Bitcoin, so a threshold that is rare for Bitcoin is an ordinary Tuesday here. On one day in ten it moved more than 11.49%, and its worst single day in the window was 29.07%. On that record, a 15% 24-hour alert fired about 1.9 times a month — rare enough to still be worth opening. CoinPriceAlert checks the condition on its servers, so it arrives with the app closed, free for 3 alerts.

What threshold should Zcash use?
Zcash moved 3.69% on a typical day over the last 365 days — about 3.1 times as much as Bitcoin, so a threshold that is rare for Bitcoin is an ordinary Tuesday here. On one day in ten it moved more than 11.49%, and its worst single day in the window was 29.07%.
That is the number the threshold should come from, because an alert that fires on an ordinary day is one you learn to dismiss — and then you dismiss the one that mattered. The table below is an audit rather than a forecast: for each threshold it counts the days in the last 365 whose move exceeded it, which is exactly what a 24-hour percentage alert measures.
| 24-hour threshold | Fires per month | Fires per year |
|---|---|---|
| 2% | 21.2 | 258 |
| 3% | 16.8 | 205 |
| 5% | 12.2 | 148 |
| 8% | 6.2 | 76 |
| 10% | 4.1 | 50 |
| 15% | 1.9 ← rare enough | 23 |
| 20% | 0.7 | 9 |
| 25% | 0.2 | 3 |
| 30% | 0 | 0 |
The highlighted row is the tightest threshold that still fired three times a month or fewer for Zcash: 15%, about 1.9 times a month.
Zcash is unusually even for a crypto asset: its worst day was only about 8 times its typical one, so the distance between "ordinary" and "notable" is short. That makes a price level the more useful of the two here — a percentage alert has less room to distinguish a real move from a normal one, while a level you chose for a reason still means something.

Three ZEC alerts worth setting
- Zcash rises above $1,498 — 15% above today's $1,303. It fires once, then re-arms only when the price crosses back and crosses again.
- Zcash falls below $1,107 — the same distance underneath. If you hold ZEC, this is the one that matters at 3am.
- Zcash moves 15% in 24 hours — direction-agnostic, and still the right alert wherever the price ends up.
Picking a ZEC price level
At $1,303, a single percent of Zcash is $13.03, so the two alert types feel very different here. $2,000 is 53.5% away and is the kind of level people talk about; a 15% alert, by contrast, will fire wherever the price happens to be in six months, which is the point of it.
Zcash is 59% below its all-time high of $3,192. At that distance the record is a poor guide to anything, and thresholds are better set from how the coin has moved lately — the table above — than from where it once was.
Where ZEC has been lately
Over the last seven days Zcash is 3.7% up, which is inside its normal range: a 15% alert would not have fired on the week as a whole. It is up 5.35% over the last day.
At 15%, Zcash will reach you roughly once a month, which is rare enough that push is the right channel — you will not have learned to ignore it. Add Telegram as well if you want a written record of what fired while you were away. Whichever you choose, the condition is evaluated on our servers rather than on your phone — and because the usual reason an alert app goes quiet is a revoked permission or a retired push token rather than the alert itself, the app checks that whole chain and names the broken link. Zcash's live chart, range and extended technicals are on its coin page if you would rather watch than be told.
Frequently asked questions
How do I set a Zcash price alert?
Open CoinPriceAlert, search for Zcash, and tap the bell on its row. Choose a price level — $1,498 and $1,107 are 15% either side of today's $1,303 — or a percentage move, then pick push, Telegram or email. No account is needed to start.
What percentage should a ZEC alert use?
Start from this coin's own record rather than a rule of thumb. Zcash moved 3.69% on a typical day over the last 365 days, so a 15% 24-hour alert fired about 1.9 times a month. Anything tighter fires most days and trains you to swipe it away.
Is Zcash volatile?
Less erratically than most. Its worst day in the last 365 was about 8 times its typical 3.69% move, which is a narrow spread for a crypto asset — the gap between an ordinary day and a notable one is short, so a price level you picked for a reason keeps its meaning.
What price should I set an alert at for Zcash?
$2,000 is the nearest round level above today's $1,303, and round numbers are where other people's orders cluster. $1,498 and $1,107 are 15% either side, which is the distance this coin's own record says is worth hearing about.
How often will a ZEC alert fire?
At 15% it fired about 1.9 times a month over the last 365 days. The table on this page shows every other threshold, so you can pick the frequency you want rather than discovering it afterwards.
Is the Zcash alert free?
Yes. The free plan covers 3 active alerts across every market in the app, with price and 24-hour percentage alerts, the home screen widget and the daily digest, delivered by push, Telegram or email, with no card required.
Do ZEC alerts work when the app is closed?
Yes. Every alert is evaluated on our servers against a live price feed, not on your phone, so it fires whether the app is open, closed or swiped away. The app shows you when the servers last checked, so you never have to take that on trust.
