The crypto market was little changed over the past 24 hours. Total market value moved +0.8% to $2.62 trillion as of 13:00 UTC on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. Bitcoin traded at $78,177 (+1.4%) and Ether at $2,317 (+2.1%). 37 of the 50 largest coins were higher, and the median move was +1.3%.
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. 22 of the other 49 large coins beat Bitcoin, so leadership was split. Bitcoin dominance stands at 60.0%, and Ether outperformed Bitcoin by 0.8 percentage points.
- Trading activity. 24-hour volume across the market was $72.2 billion, up 12.1% 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 $75,740 (03:10 UTC) to $78,589 (11:35 UTC), a 3.8% swing. The high came after the low.
