The post Bitcoin Mining Stocks Sink 20% – How Did BTC Price Avoid the Damage? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin mining stocks have fallen roughly 20% as investor enthusiasm for AI and semiconductors cools, according to a July 7 report from 10x Research.

The firm’s data shows Riot Platforms (RIOT) moving in step with the semiconductor SOX ETF since April 2026. Both recently retreated from their highs together.

The post XRP’s $1.14 Retest: Structure Shift or Fakeout? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The chart finally gave bulls something to work with, then immediately asked for proof. XRP’s push through the 1.11 to 1.15 band looked like a clean breakout. Now price is camping right back on that zone, asking the only question that really matters: is this becoming structure, or was it just a blip? If you’ve traded XRP for a while, you know the drill.
