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 Monday, November 2, 2026. Bitcoin traded at $77,905 (+0.2%) and Ether at $2,290 (+1.5%). 17 of the 50 largest coins were higher, and the median move was -0.6%.
Why is crypto flat today? What the numbers show
- Breadth. There was no clear direction: 17 of 50 large coins rose and 33 fell, so gains in some coins offset losses in others.
- Bitcoin versus altcoins. Only 14 of the other 49 large coins did better than Bitcoin, so money favoured the largest asset. Bitcoin dominance stands at 59.9%, and Ether outperformed Bitcoin by 1.2 percentage points.
- Trading activity. 24-hour volume across the market was $48.0 billion, up 22.9% 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 $77,618 (22:25 UTC, Nov 1) to $78,650 (03:40 UTC), a 1.3% swing. The high came after the low.
