Oman has launched a new cryptocurrency mining center, the second of its kind to open in the country in the last 10 months. According to media publications, a data hosting and cryptocurrency mining center will be opened in the Salalah Free Zone. It is a special economic zone in a country with low corporate taxes. Local company Exahertz will run the center in partnership with Dubai-based blockchain firm Moonwalk Systems.
The center cost 135 million Omani rials. The center uses the latest hardware from Bitmain Technologies, which plans to install 15,000 machines by October 2023. It is currently in pilot mode with 2,000 machines online operating at 11 megawatts of power consumption.
This mining hub is part of a plan to accelerate the digitization of Oman's economy, which is heavily dependent on oil exports. Another mining center, opened in November 2022, cost 150 million Omani riyals (about $390 million). In 2022, electricity prices for business operators in the country were 0.064 riyal per kilowatt hour.

The ETH/USD pair has bounced from the technical support and the current local bounce high was made at the level of $1,697, which is just below the technical resistance located at $1,707. The level of $1,545 will now act as the technical support, but the key technical support is seen at the level of $1,620. Please notice, the current market conditions are extremely oversold on Daily time frame chart, so the bulls are free to bounce even towards the technical resistance located at $1,803.

Trading Outlook:
