Thursday evening check-in from the KCEX board. Screenshot taken 7:56 PM ET; prices and funding pulled at 7:58 PM ET.
Bottom line
Nothing decisive yet: BTC 81,378.70 on KCEX, still between 80,897.00 and 84,464.10. An hourly close outside that band matters more than any wick.

Range map
- BTC: last 81,378.70; 24h high 84,464.10 is the lid, 24h low 80,897.00 the floor; this morning's 81,860.20 is now resistance from below; winning it back would undo the drop.
- ETH: last 2,388.02; 24h range 2,359.13-2,484.91; this morning's print 2,402.69 (-0.61%).
BTC is under this morning's print; winning it back overnight into Asia puts the 24h high back in play, while a close under 80,897.00 hands the next session a floor test.
