ZK Token Sees 136% in Weekly Gains with New Buyback Initiatives

Key Notes

  • ZKsync (ZK) gained 136% in one week, boosting market cap by $350 million.
  • The cryptocurrency is trading around $0.07, almost flat in the past day.
  • Analysts suggest strong bullish momentum with minor overbought risks.

ZKsync ZK $0.0632 24h volatility: 6.6% Market cap: $457.22 M Vol. 24h: $329.51 M has become the week’s top-performing privacy token, soaring 136% in seven days and adding over $350 million to its market cap. The token now ranks as the fifth-largest privacy-focused crypto, trailing only ZCash ZEC $624.4 24h volatility: 17.6% Market cap: $10.39 B Vol. 24h: $2.46 B , Litecoin LTC $87.87 24h volatility: 0.6% Market cap: $6.72 B Vol. 24h: $589.78 M , Monero XMR $360.2 24h volatility: 1.2% Market cap: $6.64 B Vol. 24h: $161.25 M , and Dash DASH $106.4 24h volatility: 17.4% Market cap: $1.34 B Vol. 24h: $983.82 M .

ZK’s stunning price rally from $0.029 to above $0.08 started earlier in November, with the token now consolidating near $0.07 as investors weigh its next move. The surge comes amid renewed interest in privacy-oriented crypto like ZCash (ZEC).

While some traders believe the rally may have peaked, the open interest for the ZK token has seen a major surge recently. This indicates that wallets that exited earlier this quarter are now re-entering the market.

Investor Optimism Arrives as ZK Token Buyback

The investor interest comes amid a new token buyback announced by ZKsync founder Alex. The initiative aims at transforming ZK from a purely governance token into one with real economic value.

Under the proposal, all network-generated revenue would be funneled into a governance-controlled treasury. The community would then decide how to allocate the funds, including potential buybacks to reduce supply and increase long-term demand.

The announcement has been widely praised by traders and analysts, who see it as a strategic move to enhance ZK’s long-term sustainability.

Continued Bullish Momentum

On the daily ZK price chart, the Bollinger Bands are widening, reflecting increased volatility. The price remains close to the upper band, a sign of persistent buying pressure but also potential overextension.

If ZK fails to hold above $0.055, it could face a pullback toward $0.045, the next key support zone.

The RSI currently indicates mild overbought conditions but still leaving room for another leg higher. If the token manages to break above $0.075, analysts expect a potential move toward $0.09.
