  04-04-2020 21:00 via newsbtc.com
  
  Throughout most of 2019 and the early months of 2020, Tezos incurred some immense bullishness that allowed it to post massive gains, with the crypto setting fresh all-time highs just a couple of months ago when its bullishness reached a boiling point.

  Following Bitcoin’s recent rejection at $7,300, the benchmark cryptocurrency has once again established another bout of sideways trading within the upper-$6,000 region, with bulls and bears reaching an impasse as its near-term trend grows increasingly unclear.
  Analysts are now noting, however, that from a macro perspective Bitcoin remains firmly bearish as long as it is trading beneath its yearly open at $7,200, with a failure to post a decisive climb above this level being a grim sign.
