Core is built as an L1 blockchain that is compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), therefore it can run Ethereum smart contracts and decentralized applications. The Core network is powered by the “Satoshi Plus” consensus mechanism, which secures the network through a combination of delegated Bitcoin's mining hash and delegated Proof-of-Stake.
Anyway, CORE been in a downtrend from birth. After CORE broke the downtrend line, CORE moved into an ascending channel, and recently CORE broke this channel with momentum and now reaching the first horizontal resistance area. Core probably rest at this area for a while; if break this area, further upward movement is possible. Let's see what happens.
