How Zcash reacts to macro news
ZEC barely notices Jobless claims: 1.4× a normal hour, no clearer than noise.
Zcash has data for 84 scheduled macro releases across 10 event types.
Next release that moves ZEC: FOMC rate decision,
Small sample: ZEC has only traded on Bitstamp since 19 Mar 2026, so every figure here rests on a handful of releases.
Thin trading: ZEC trades thinly on Bitstamp. In 29 of 84 releases (35%) its price did not change at all by +1h, so these figures understate how much ZEC moves on busier exchanges.
Every event, ranked by how much it moves ZEC
Ranked by the move multiple: the median move after a release vs a matched normal hour. "Top-10%" is how often a release gives a move bigger than 90% of normal ones (10% would be no different from normal). Impact is the event's site-wide rating (see methodology). Typical move sizes by window follow (median absolute move, either direction). Click a column to sort; click an event for every release.
