The crypto market was little changed over the past 24 hours. Total market value moved +0.2% to $2.60 trillion as of 13:00 UTC on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Bitcoin traded at $77,409 (+0.1%) and Ether at $2,249 (+0.9%). 30 of the 50 largest coins were higher, and the median move was +0.3%.
Why is crypto flat today? What the numbers show
- Breadth. There was no clear direction: 30 of 50 large coins rose and 20 fell, so gains in some coins offset losses in others.
- Bitcoin versus altcoins. 28 of the other 49 large coins beat Bitcoin, so leadership was split. Bitcoin dominance stands at 59.8%, and Ether outperformed Bitcoin by 0.7 percentage points.
- Trading activity. 24-hour volume across the market was $64.8 billion, down 56.6% 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 $76,338 (19:35 UTC, Oct 30) to $77,932 (15:20 UTC, Oct 30), a 2.1% swing. The low came after the high.
