On the Rise: 3 Cryptos to Watch Closely This Late October

Jakarta, Pintu News – Privacy coins are back in the spotlight as traders start talking about a possible “privacy coin supercycle.” After years of hiatus, several tokens designed for anonymous transactions and DeFi privacy tools have experienced tremendous price spikes – one of them even jumped nearly 350% in just 30 days.

As global regulations on on-chain transparency tighten, traders seem to be taking another look at privacy-focused projects. They are betting that the demand for anonymity on the blockchain is making a strong comeback.

This article looks at three privacy coins that in recent weeks have shown strong momentum – and may still have the potential to climb higher, based on BeInCrypto’s report.

Zcash (ZEC)

The previously mentioned 350% spike came from Zcash (ZEC) – one of the oldest privacy coins designed to allow users to send and receive crypto in complete secrecy using zero-knowledge proofs technology, a system that hides transaction details without interfering with the verification process.

Recently, Zcash touched a four-year high above $297, making it one of the strongest performing privacy coins this month, before correcting around 18% due to profit-taking. Despite the short-term decline, ZEC still shows potential to resume its uptrend.

Between October 7 and 16, the Zcash price formed a higher low than before, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) – a momentum indicator that measures whether an asset is overbought or oversold – recorded a lower low.

This creates a hidden bullish divergence, which is usually a signal that the overall uptrend is still intact, despite short-term selling pressure.

To confirm the strength of the uptrend, Zcash needs to break the $246 level again and then close above $297 (a 37.2% increase from current levels), which could pave the way towards $312 and $342, with a long-term target of $438 based on trend-based Fibonacci projections.

Currently, holding above the $186 level keeps Zcash’s bullish structure intact – placing it as one of the key privacy coins worth monitoring as momentum returns in the sector. However, if it drops below $186, ZEC prices are at risk of further selling pressure.

Dash (DASH)

The next privacy coin on the list is Dash (DASH) – a long-running crypto project known for its optional privacy features, allowing users tomix transactions for increased anonymity. Originally launched as a fork of Bitcoin, Dash has evolved into one of the most established privacy-focused cryptos, used for secure payments and transfers.

In the past 30 days, the price of DASH has risen by almost 83%, although recent profit-taking has led to a correction of 24.8% in the past week. Interestingly, however, this correction appears to be part of a largercontinuation pattern, rather than a full trend reversal.

Previously, the token managed to break out of a flag and pole pattern (marked in blue), which targeted a price of around $66 and briefly rose to $61 before declining.

Now, a new flag and pole structure (marked in orange) seems to be forming, indicating that DASH is in a consolidation phase before the next possible breakout.

If the price manages to break above $43, this new pattern could potentially take the price of DASH as high as $94, based on the current pole length projection. However, the levels to cross first are $49 and $61 – two strong resistance zones.

Conversely, if the price drops below $38, this structure will weaken and could push the price of DASH to $33 or even $29.

Although the chart looks complicated with various pole and flag patterns, overall it highlights a recurring bullish structure. It also shows that DASH’s current price drop is more like a temporary pause, not the end of the privacy coin’s ongoing uptrend.

Railgun (RAIL)

The third privacy coin on this list, Railgun (RAIL), is one of the most striking in 2025.

Built on the Ethereum (ETH) network, Railgun allows users to privately conduct DeFi transactions,swaps, and interactions using zk-SNARKs technology – a cryptographic method that hides the data of the sender, receiver, and transaction amount without compromising the verification process on the blockchain.

In the last 30 days, RAIL’s price surged by almost 184%, surpassing most other privacy coins. Although it has corrected by 8.1%, this decline is relatively mild. In fact, in the last 24 hours, RAIL has gained another 5.2%, indicating a resurgence of momentum.

On-chain data also supported this positive sentiment. All major holder groups recorded increases in their holdings in the past week:

• “Smart money” wallets rose 21%,
• Whales are up 35%,
• Public figures increase ownership by 2%, and
• The top 100 addresses (which account for 90% of total supply) increased by 2.1%.

The only area that showed mild selling pressure was onexchanges, which rose 4.7% – indicating that retail traders are starting to take some profits. However, the massive accumulation by the rest of the group showed increasing confidence that the privacy coin’s rally could still continue.

Technically, RAIL’s price is currently moving within a falling wedge pattern, a structure that often signals an upward breakout. If the price is able to close above $3.04, this pattern could be confirmed, with initial targets at $3.53 and then $5.61 – close to the all-time high.

However, if the daily price closes below $2.24, this bullish scenario will be invalidated, and the price risks dropping to around $1.20. For now, Railgun remains one of the best-performing privacy tokens, combining conviction from large investors with technical patterns that support the continuation of the uptrend.
