After a bullish start to 2019, the cryptocurrency markets are undergoing a small retracement over the past two days.
Ethereum has had a particularly bullish end to 2018 and a bullish start to 2019 as it reclaimed its position as the largest altcoin by market cap by overtaking Ripple’s XRP.
Ether is performing strongly on this brief downturn and is outperforming other major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin and XRP.
Ether has only lost around 1% over the past 24 hours whereas bitcoin has lost over 2% and XRP has lost over 3%.
The uptrend which has been forming since mid-December in Ether could have a role to play in this outperformance.
