Horizen Labs will be working with businesses to help them build their own sidechains on top of the Horizen’s public blockchain. This is likely the reason why ZEN’s price has been growing for the past several weeks.

Fundamental Analysis
Horizen looks interesting on the fundamental level. It has a good development team and plans a number of technological improvements to its platform in 2019.

Conclusion
ZEN is growing increasingly bullish against BTC over both time frames as the cryptocurrency attempts to recover from last month’s trading losses.
If bulls can maintain the bullish momentum and continue to rally the ZEN / BTC pair, a much stronger rally towards the November 18th swing high may occur.
