Altcoins rally to new highs after the ETH/BTC pair flips bullish

MTL, RGT and KSM post gains in excess of 36% after the ETH/BTC pair turned bullish and Bitcoin price trades in a range-bound pattern.

Signs that an altseason is underway are beginning to increase across the cryptocurrency market after numerous altcoins posted double-digit gains on Aug. 31. Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) continued to face headwinds and the digital asset trades at $47,100

The top altcoin Ether (ETH) looks poised to stage a 40% rally against BTC according to analysts, and a 5% gain in the ETH/BTC pair on Tuesday is thought to be the fuel behind altcoins which rallied more than 30% today.
