Crypto is down today. Total market value fell 3.5% in 24 hours to $2.33 trillion as of 13:00 UTC on Friday, November 13, 2026. Bitcoin traded at $69,359 (-4.7%) and Ether at $1,962 (-2.7%). 20 of the 50 largest coins were higher, and the median move was -0.5%.
Why is crypto down today? What the numbers show
- Breadth. Breadth was mixed: 20 of 50 large coins rose and 30 fell, so the headline move was driven by a few large assets rather than the whole market.
- Bitcoin versus altcoins. 48 of the other 49 large coins did better than Bitcoin, a sign of appetite for smaller, riskier assets. Bitcoin dominance stands at 59.6%, and Ether outperformed Bitcoin by 1.9 percentage points.
- Trading activity. 24-hour volume across the market was $98.5 billion, up 68.3% on the previous day. A price move on sharply higher volume carries more weight than one on thin trading.
- Bitcoin’s 24-hour range. From $68,062 (06:00 UTC) to $72,771 (13:05 UTC, Nov 12), a 6.9% swing. The low came after the high.

The Nasdaq fell 0.4% in its latest session, so crypto moved in the same direction as tech stocks. That points to a broad shift in risk appetite rather than a crypto-only story.
