Well, miners don't set the price.

Bitcoin price is just supply and demand (and manipulation). If a miner can no longer mine while remaining profitable, he can:
  • Stop mining, sell his hardware
  • Stop mining, keep his hardware in case the price goes up or the diff goes down
  • Keep mining at a loss, hodl the mined BTC
  • Keep mining at a loss, sell the mined BTC
