Where the edges are

BTC: last 80,250.50; 24h high 81,188.00 is the lid, 24h low 75,696.50 the floor; BTC is trading above last night's 76,831.10, so that print is the first level buyers need to defend.
ETH: last 2,424.48; 24h range 2,225.23-2,449.54; last night's print 2,259.70 (+7.29%).

With BTC over last night's level, an hourly close back below 76,831.10 is the first sign the move is fading.
