The world\u2019s second largest crypto asset has taken a beating recently. Not only has Ethereum price collapsed below $200 but it is constantly hounded by the majority of the crypto community which remain blinded by the performance of its big brother.<\/p>\n

Ethereum Remains Asleep<\/h2>\n

In terms of price action, there are not many positive things to say about ETH at the moment. A steep downtrend lasting over two months has resulted in the formation of a \u2018death cross\u2019 on the daily chart indicating more pain to come. This week the 50 day moving average will fall below the 200 day which is an ominous sign for Ethereum market trends.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s return to five figures<\/a> has lifted ETH marginally but the meager 3 percent did not even result in reclamation of $180. At the time of writing Ethereum is consolidating at around $178 according to Tradingview.com<\/a>. The asset has plunged 50 percent since its 2019 high of $360 and is still 87 percent down from its all-time high as gains continue to get eroded.<\/p>\n

This lack of buying momentum has caused the crypto community to continue to bash Ethereum but the truth is all digital assets aside from BTC are on the floor. Even this year\u2019s two darlings, Litecoin and Binance Coin, are floundering now.<\/p>\n

Solid Fundamentals<\/h2>\n

The Ethereum network and developer team is still solid though and, as pointed out by a couple of industry observers that went against the grain of lambasting the project, it still has the most developers.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep an eye on Ethereum over the next few years! Out of every cryptocurrency that exists, Ethereum has the most developers! This means the possibilities for further growth are endless as their code is constantly being improved!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The sentiment was echoed by Weiss Ratings which compared Ethereum to rival smart contract and dApp platforms which are also bleeding out in terms of token price.<\/p>\n

\u201cEthereum has 1000s of devs around the world working on dApps and other solutions on top of its blockchain.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

#Ethereum<\/a> has 1000s of devs around the world working on #dApps<\/a> and other solutions on top of its #blockchain<\/a>. #Cardano<\/a> team is much smaller, but it has the advantage of a highly experienced group that insists on extremely disciplined process. #ADA<\/a> #ETH<\/a> #crypto<\/a> #cryptocurrency<\/a><\/p>\n
