US stocks fell for the third straight day as Middle East tensions outweighed Fed rate cut hopes Stocks slipped for a third straight session on Friday, with traders dumping risk as Middle East tensions kept heating up. The S&P 500 dropped 0.22%, closing at 5,967.84, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.51% to end at 19,447.41. Only the Dow Jones Industrial Average stayed afloat, up 35.16 points, or 0.08%, finishing at 42,206.82. This comes as traders completely ignored a fresh signal from the Federal Reserve that a July rate cut might actually happen. The early bounce on Wall Street quickly faded once people realized that none of the geopolitical chaos had changed. President Donald Trump, now leading from the White House again, hasn’t ruled out striking Tehran, and according to CNBC, he plans to make a final decision within the next two weeks. This kind of risk doesn’t exactly give traders the confidence to go long into a weekend.

XRP News: XRP Price Consolidates for 200 Days: Analysts Predict $3.70 to $10 Breakout — or Drop to $1.33 Bullish Fractals Hint at $3.70 to $10 Breakout Analysts see similarities between XRP’s current setup and its historic 2017 bull run, which took the token from under $0.30 to over $3.00 in a matter of months. But Bears See $1.33 Breakdown If Trend Reverses Despite bullish projections, downside risks remain. XRP’s weekly chart may also be forming an inverse cup-and-handle, a bearish reversal pattern that has historically preceded sharp corrections. This setup suggests that XRP’s failure to hold above $2.20–$2.30 could trigger a decline toward $1.33, aligning with the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level that previously acted as resistance during XRP’s 2021 correction.

⚡ Bitcoin mining in 2025 is more complex than ever. Research from Cointelegraph, supported by Uminers, breaks down the full cost of mining 1 BTC. And it’s not just about electricity anymore. Even with $0.06/kWh, many miners can’t break even if they bought hardware at peak prices or locked into expensive infrastructure. The total cost for public miners, including depreciation and SG&A, now tops $106,000 per BTC. The graph reveals just how tight margins have become: unless you’re under $0.07–$0.08/kWh, you’re likely losing money. Meanwhile, the average cash cost rose only 13% post-halving, thanks to better efficiency — from $49,500 in Q2 to $55,950 in Q3 2024. Read the breakdown on the Uminers blog, check the full report.
