  In this paper, we show that weak solutions of $$-\text{div}
\mathbb{A}(x)\nabla u = 0 \qquad \text{where}\quad \mathbb{A}(x)=
\mathbb{A}(x)^T \,\, \text{and} \,\, \lambda |\zeta|^2 \leq \langle
\mathbb{A}(x)\zeta,\zeta\rangle \leq \Lambda |\zeta|^2,$$
  and $\mathbb{A}(x) \equiv \mathbb{A}$ is a constant matrix are H\"older
continuous $u \in C^{\alpha}_{\text{loc}}$ with $\alpha \geq \frac12
\left(-(n-2) + \sqrt{(n-2)^2 + \frac{4(n-1)\lambda}{\Lambda}} \right)$. This
implies that the example constructed by Piccinini - Spagnolo is sharp in the
class of constant matrices $\mathbb{A}(x) \equiv \mathbb{A}$. The proof of
H\"older regularity does not go through a reduction of oscillation type
argument and instead is achieved through a monotonicity formula.
  In the case of general matrices $\mathbb{A}(x)$, we obtain the same
regularity under some additional hypothesis.
