The net capital gains tax rate of 0% only applies if your net long-term gains exceed your net short-term losses. This means you had to have held the assets for over a year before selling to qualify for the 0% rate. If you had net positive gains on assets that you held for less then a year, then that would be a net short-term capital gain, which is taxed at your ordinary income tax rate.
See - IRS topic 409, section Capital gains tax rates
TurboTax, "A Guide to the Capital Gains Tax Rate: Short-term vs. Long-term Capital Gains Taxes"
