The crypto market was little changed over the past 24 hours. Total market value moved -0.5% to $2.79 trillion as of 13:00 UTC on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. Bitcoin traded at $83,301 (+0.3%) and Ether at $2,500 (-1.5%). 4 of the 50 largest coins were higher, and the median move was -4.1%.
Why is crypto flat today? What the numbers show
- Breadth. The move was broad: 46 of 50 large coins fell, so selling was market-wide rather than limited to one coin.
- Bitcoin versus altcoins. Only 3 of the other 49 large coins did better than Bitcoin, so money favoured the largest asset. Bitcoin dominance stands at 59.9%, and Ether underperformed Bitcoin by 1.7 percentage points.
- Trading activity. 24-hour volume across the market was $90.4 billion, up 31.1% 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 $81,222 (00:50 UTC) to $84,069 (08:15 UTC), a 3.5% swing. The high came after the low.
