Levels
- BTC: last 81,138.10; 24h high 82,034.20 is the lid, 24h low 80,466.60 the floor; this morning's 81,275.40 print is now overhead and is the first reclaim level.
- ETH: last 2,386.01; 24h range 2,350.78-2,417.00; this morning's print 2,395.72 (-0.41%).
A clean hourly close under 80,466.60 would extend the drop; anything between 80,466.60 and 81,275.40 is still range trade.
