The post Ripple Price Analysis: The Critical Level XRP Must Defend to Avoid Another Breakdown appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP remains under pressure across both the USDT and BTC pairs, with sellers continuing to control the broader trend despite several short-lived recovery attempts. While the USDT chart shows buyers defending an important support area, the XRP/BTC pair continues to trade near multi-month lows, highlighting the token’s persistent relative weakness against the market leader. Ripple Price Analysis: The USDT Pair On the daily timeframe, XRP continues to trade inside a well-defined descending channel, keeping the broader market structure firmly bearish. It remains below the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, both of which are sloping lower and acting as dynamic resistance above $1.25. This alignment suggests that momentum still favors sellers unless a meaningful trend reversal develops. After losing the $1.25 level in early June, XRP found demand around the crit

Ethereum (ETH) trades near $1,730, a level last seen in March 2023, after losing 65% from its August 2025 all-time high. Meanwhile, its biggest upgrade since The Merge is approaching with almost no market attention. On-chain activity remains at bull market levels, yet social interest has collapsed. The technical structure, however, keeps pointing lower as a nine-month downtrend presses the Ethereum price against its last major support. Glamsterdam Becomes the Catalyst Nobody Is Watching The Glamsterdam upgrade will be Ethereum’s first major base-layer throughput overhaul since 2022, changing how the network assembles blocks. Crypto analyst Ted Pillows called it the biggest Ethereum upgrade since The Merge.

The post Bitcoin miners are using up to 12% of treasury BTC as collateral rather than selling coins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Top public Bitcoin miner CleanSpark’s latest BTC count carried a footnote that may matter more than the headline total: of the 13,924 BTC it reported as of June 30, 1,719 BTC was posted as collateral or recorded as a receivable, all tied to derivative transactions That amounts to roughly 12% of the miner’s reported Bitcoin balance held in financing or risk-management mechanisms rather than functioning as a readily available reserve. For reference, CleanSpark currently owns the 11th-largest public Bitcoin treasury among operating companies. The disclosure does not imply misuse. It does show why miner treasuries are getting harder to read as the same BTC stacks are marketed as strength, sold for cash, pledged, restricted, or moved through derivatives.
