Ether is up 100% since its bottom in June, massively outperforming bitcoin

$Bitcoin(BTC.CC)$ hit a low of $17,601 on June 19 and is up around 31% since then as of Friday’s trading price, according to CoinDesk data. $Ethereum(ETH.CC)$ also hit its recent low on June 19 at $880.93, but has surged 106% since then.
The huge divergence in performance in the two cryptocurrencies come down to one major factor: a big upgrade in the ethereum blockchain called the “merge.”
Analysts said any further delays to the ethereum upgrade could derail the massive rally.
