The crypto market was little changed over the past 24 hours. Total market value moved +0.0% to $2.80 trillion as of 13:00 UTC on Saturday, October 10, 2026. Bitcoin traded at $82,736 (-0.2%) and Ether at $2,494 (0.0%). 37 of the 50 largest coins were higher, and the median move was +1.1%.
Why is crypto flat today? What the numbers show
- Breadth. There was no clear direction: 37 of 50 large coins rose and 13 fell, so gains in some coins offset losses in others.
- Bitcoin versus altcoins. 40 of the other 49 large coins did better than Bitcoin, a sign of appetite for smaller, riskier assets. Bitcoin dominance stands at 59.5%, and Ether outperformed Bitcoin by 0.2 percentage points.
- Trading activity. 24-hour volume across the market was $55.0 billion, down 50.5% on the previous day. Volume did not change sharply, so the move was not driven by a surge of trading.
- Bitcoin’s 24-hour range. From $82,243 (19:50 UTC, Oct 9) to $83,204 (14:35 UTC, Oct 9), a 1.2% swing. The low came after the high.
