ETHW has logged a significant price rebound despite its blockchain network, ETHPoW,
This “bearish divergence” setup is supported by a descending trendline that has served as resistance for ETHW since Sept. 2.
On the four-hour chart below, traders have shown their likelihood of dumping their ETHW positions near the said resistance. Moreover, even the token’s latest pullback move on Sept. 27 has originated near the same trendline, raising the possibility of an extended price correction.
As a result, ETHW’s short-term technical bias is skewed toward the bears. So, if its correction extends, the PoW token risks falling into the $8–$9 price range, which also coincides with ascending trendline support, or a 25% drop from current price levels.
ETHPoW hash rate recovers
On a brighter note, the ETHPoW’s network hash rate has recovered significantly since the smart contract hack, rising from 29.44 TH/s on Sept. 19 to 48.48 TH/s on Sep. 27. Although, the current hash rate is still down about 40% from its record high of 79.42 TH/s.
Still, a rising hash rate means more miners have joined the ETHPoW network after its split from the Ethereum proof-of-stake (PoS) chain on Sept. 15. In theory, it should ensure better protection against potential 51% attacks.
Simultaneously, ETHPoW has witnessed a growth in its network’s total valued locked (TVL). As of Sept. 27, ETHPoW had 66,548 ETHW deposited across four decentralized exchanges functioning atop its blockchain compared to nearly 38,000 ETHW three days prior, or a 75% increase in the last three days.
Interestingly, UniWswap, a fork of the Ethereum blockchain-based decentralized exchange Uniswap, comprises more than 50% of the ETHPoW chain’s TVL.
Other DApps include PoWSea, a nonfungible token ( marketplace, as well as exchanges PoWSwap and HipPoWSwap.
