Zcash and NEAR Outrun a Softer Tape
Zcash (ZEC) is the standout of the session, trading at $1,333.79 for a 24-hour gain of 9.16% and a 1-hour rise of 5.02%. Its market cap stands at $22.68B on $939.08M of daily volume. NEAR Protocol is close behind, up 12.44% over 24 hours to $5.88 and 21.44% over seven days, with a $7.70B market cap and $1.19B in volume.
The gains sit against a mixed backdrop. Bitcoin trades at $83,855, up 1.04% on the day but down 2.35% over the week, and the global market cap has slipped 2.36% in 24 hours to $2.83T. Bitcoin dominance reads 59.51%.
A Broader Alt Bid, Built Selectively

Positioning and Backdrop
The fear and greed reading sits at 69, labelled Greed, up from 61 a day earlier, while the desk sentiment gauge reads 53, Neutral.
