Not only Ethereum, also all the other altcoins which has risen of over the last weeks, namely Factom, NEM, Bitshares, Dash and Monero.
When those coin got dump then Bitcoin price will get a push again.
There was no stress test, just people moving their bitcoins to buy Ethereum.
Also SJCX, which is a great project and people should support it.

I don't know about that, those coins trade against bitcoin not fiat, like we did not see a fall in the price of bitcoin we might also not see a rise.
