Volatility is back in crypto markets, that’s for sure. Ethereum<\/a> (ETH) has rallied by 10% over the past number of hours, managing to somehow overcome a massive flash crash that ailed Bitcoin last night.<\/p>\n As of the time of writing this article, the cryptocurrency has rallied to $223, managing to break above the 200-day moving average in a decisively bullish move. The move to $223 represents a nearly 10% gain from the $203 bottom put in yesterday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Despite this, Bitcoin has remained relatively muted. The cryptocurrency has ground higher to $10,100, moving up by $500 from last night’s local bottom, but is still underperforming ETH by a fair margin.<\/p>\n Altcoins, interestingly, are widely underperforming Ethereum. In fact, Ethereum is actually the only cryptocurrency in this market’s upper echelons that has managed to post a strong gain in the past 24 hours, marking a very positive development for ETH bulls.<\/p>\n While Ethereum has seen a stellar surge over recent days, surging from $170 to $220 in a matter of ten days, some say that it’s rally is just starting.<\/p>\n You see, for much of 2019, Ethereum has absolutely tanked against Bitcoin. In fact, data from Messari’s OnChainFX shows that the cryptocurrency is still down by some 75% from its all-time high against the leading cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n Related Reading:<\/p>\n But, the project has been graced by strong fundamentals, most of which offer fundamental reasons to purchase ETH.<\/p>\n Some of these include BitPay supporting Ethereum merchant payments, massive growth in decentralized finance applications, the tokenization of off-chain assets on the platform, Santander using the blockchain for bond settlement, and a “flippening<\/a>” of ETH fees and BTC fees paid.<\/p>\n Ethereum flipped Bitcoin in daily fees today – yay \ud83e\udd73<\/p>\n You know what's even more striking about this image? The fees paid on the other blockchains don't even come anywhere close to Bitcoin & Ethereum which signals to me that there is practically zero demand for these platforms. pic.twitter.com\/d7jlJxKOJQ<\/a><\/p>\n — sassal.eth\/acc \ud83e\udd87\ud83d\udd0a (@sassal0x) September 18, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nRelated Reading: Will Ethereum Golden Cross and BitPay Support Send ETH Surging?<\/a><\/h6>\n
