BTCUSD vs. ETHUSD
BTCUSD: Saved by the pause above 80K but would need to move back above 83500 to negate the risk and shift it back to 85K.
ETHUSD: Paused just above 2400 (and a 2352 target) but bounce would need to move above 2500-15 to cool the risk and then above 2560-85 to shift it the other way.

USDCAD 4 HOUR – Waiting for the jobs report
For the lower high to build momentum 1.4200 would need to be broken.
If not, it holds as the bottom of a 1.4200-1.4300 range where the uptrend is consolidating.
Next key focus: Sept jobs report
