Has ZKsync bottomed?

A confirmed swing low is evidence of a price pattern, not proof of a final market bottom. Here is what the ZK snapshot records on 2026-10-21 UTC:

Monthly: the last confirmed swing low is $0.0071 from 2026-08-31. The current candidate is marked confirmed. The latest monthly bar is still forming.

Weekly: the last confirmed swing low is $0.0107 from 2026-10-11. The current candidate is marked confirmed. The latest weekly bar is still forming.

Daily: the last confirmed swing low is $0.0140 from 2026-10-18. The current candidate is marked confirmed.

How bottom confirmation works. Cycle-low confidence is a heuristic score, not a calibrated probability of a profitable trade.
