Dash (DASH)

bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Dash [DASH] climbed 17.5% on Coinbase, reaching its highest price since May. The rally followed a powerful run by Zcash [ZEC], which recently surpassed $1,000 and entered the top ten in market cap for the first time. DASH opened the day at $47.46 and climbed as high as $56.85, trading near $55.76 when the chart was last observed.
This move marks an 85% increase from its mid-August level near $30. Trading activity increased noticeably, with a measure of money moving in and out of the asset supporting the upside move. There was no confirmed major project announcement, suggesting the gain resembles a market rotation rather than a specific catalyst.
The area between $55 and $57 is critical, as DASH reached this region twice in May but failed to remain there. Moving beyond $57 could place $60 within reach. However, falling below this level may trigger profit-taking from traders who bought at lower prices.
The chart shows a sharp rise, which often brings larger price swings as buyers and sellers compete around a previous high. If the price retreats, $48 is the first area where buyers may attempt to stop the decline. A larger pullback could return DASH towards the $43–$44 region.

Whalio data shows DASH trading at $62.55, indicating a continuation of the rally beyond the reported highs. The 1-hour buy ratio stands at 53.0%, while the 4-hour ratio is 52.5%, both closely tracking the 24-hour ratio of 53.0%.

These positive deltas mean that the volume of buy orders exceeded sell orders during these intervals.
