Data published by Ethereum mining pool Sparkpool revealed a sharp increase in the daily profitability of miners. It rose from $1.85 per MH/s to $3.27 before retreating to around $3.00. Demand for decentralized finance (DeFi) apps contributed to the increase. Enthusiasts should remain cautious as the total computing power for Ethereum remained stable near 190 PH/s. The current increase in profitability may remain temporary as the hype tends to fizzle out. The Covid-19 pandemic continues to depress economic activity and could lead to another crash if it persists, amid a flight to preserve capital.

The forecast for the ETH/USD turned bearish after running into resistance. Demand for DeFi apps is likely to increase, but competition is heating up. A price gap formed during the explosive advance, vulnerable to be closed. The downside pressure can take price action below its Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen and into its Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud, where its horizontal support area awaits.
