Key numbers
over 361 daily candles
How each of these is computed: regression spread, hedge ratio, spread z-score, half-life, correlation.
What the numbers say
The fitted hedge ratio is negative: over the window ZEC and ETC moved in opposite directions. A pair trade assumes the legs move together, so this combination does not qualify as one.
The spread currently sits at 2.61 standard deviations above its rolling mean — ZEC is expensive relative to ETC by the standards of this window.
Historically the spread covers half the way back to its mean in about 30 days, so a divergence here tends to resolve within weeks rather than months.
The current ratio sits in the upper part of its range — 81% of the way from the low to the high of the last 361 daily candles.
Frequently asked
How many ETC is 1 ZEC?
1 ZEC is worth 158.78 ETC at the latest exchange quotes. The figure is the ratio of the two USDT prices and updates every minute.
What is the ZEC/ETC range?
Over the last 361 daily candles the ratio traded between 3.91778 (29.09.2025) and 195.219 (18.09.2026).
Are ZEC and ETC correlated?
The correlation of daily log returns between ZEC and ETC is 0.44, which counts as a moderate link. Log returns are used rather than prices: two rising assets correlate almost by default, joint day-to-day movement is what matters.
What is the ZEC/ETC spread z-score now?
The z-score is 2.61 — the spread is stretched beyond two standard deviations. It measures how far the regression residual log(A) − β·log(B) sits from its rolling mean, in standard deviations.
Is ZEC/ETC suitable for a pair trade?
No. The fitted hedge ratio is negative, meaning the legs moved in opposite directions over the window — the market-neutral construction that pair trading relies on does not hold here.
