<p>After the formation of support, RIOT stock price entered a narrow consolidation zone ranging between $10.10 and $12.40. If bulls can push the price above $12.40, there is a possibility that the price might rise toward the next resistance level of $15.30.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>On the other hand, if the stock price breaks the recent support of $10.10, it might melt down to the next key support level of $8.90.&nbsp;</p>

The crypto mining firm sits in third place in Bitcoin production for 2023 and finished 2022 ranked second.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The current hash rate of Riot is 10.7 exahashes per second (EH/s, a measure of computing power applied to mining cryptocurrencies), which is good enough to produce more than 4,300 Bitcoins in 2023 and add to its total reserve of roughly 7,300 BTC, worth around $188 Million.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The Bitcoin produced in August was around 333 BTC. Riot Platforms also anticipates achieving a total self-mining hash rate of 12.5 EH/s by the end of 2023 at its Rockdale facility.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The crypto mining company is also partnering with Micro BT, a China-based Bitcoin miner manufacturer, which includes an initial order of 7.6 EH/s of next-generation Bitcoin miners for its Corsicana Facility. Upon full deployment of this initial order by mid-2024, Riot’s total self-mining hash rate capacity is expected to reach 20.1 EH/s.</p>
