Rising years outnumber falling ones — but the spread between the best and worst year matters more than the count: that is what tells you what to be ready for.
The current year stands at +148%, ranging from $184.6 to $1,698.

Does ZEC have a seasonal pattern
On average ZEC did best in October: +74.3% across 7 observations, 4 of them positive. It did worst in June: −14.6% across 8 observations.
We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 7 observations is 7 observations: on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from coincidence. Interesting to look at, not something to plan around.
How to use this
Everything above is the past. It does not say where the price goes next, but it does show the range to be ready for: $15.78 to $1,698, with a drawdown of −91.5%.
What is useful right now is this: ZEC costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner. Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer. And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
