Over the last 12 months ZEC returned +2,023.29% and AVAX -66.26%. Over just the last month the picture is the same: ZEC +83.17%, AVAX +44.30%. Short periods can tell a very different story from long ones, which is why picking a coin from last month's chart rarely works.
Zcash moves about ±4.2% on a typical day against ±2.1% for Avalanche. In the past year ZEC fell as much as 72% from a peak and AVAX 81%. Bigger swings mean bigger possible gains and bigger possible losses, size your position so a fall like that wouldn't force you to sell.
The correlation of their daily moves over the past year is 0.35 (1 = always together, 0 = unrelated): they move fairly independently. That makes holding both a little less risky than holding either alone.
Zcash is the bigger network, with a market cap about 5.4× that of Avalanche. A lower price per coin doesn't make a coin “cheaper”: what matters is market cap, and how many new coins will still be created (ZEC: capped at 21.00M; AVAX: capped at 720.00M).
Both trade on FIU-registered exchanges. Profit on either is taxed at 30% plus 4% cess, 1% TDS is deducted when you sell, and a loss on one can't be set off against a gain on the other. Guides: how to buy Zcash · how to buy Avalanche · best crypto apps in India.

We don't give buy or sell advice. The data shows how each has behaved, not what happens next. Many investors hold more than one coin rather than choosing; with a correlation of 0.35, they move fairly independently, so holding both spreads less risk than it might seem.
