BTC: last 80,280.40; 24h high 80,917.80 is the lid, 24h low 79,325.60 the floor; BTC is trading above last night's 80,109.90, so that print is the first level buyers need to defend.
ETH: last 2,328.44; 24h range 2,292.79-2,363.59; last night's print 2,328.60 (-0.01%).

With BTC over last night's level, an hourly close back below 80,109.90 is the first sign the move is fading.

Nothing decisive yet: BTC 80,280.40 on BloFin, still between 79,325.60 and 80,917.80. An hourly close outside that band matters more than any wick.

Curious what others are seeing on their screens today.
