Crypto Prices Today: All 6 Top Coins Bounced Together — But Bitcoin Is Still the Only One Holding Up Over 30 Days

All six of the biggest cryptocurrencies turned green on the same day — and every single one of them is still down double digits over the past 30 days. Bitcoin, the supposed laggard of this sell-off, is actually the best performer of the group over the last month at minus 10.62%, while Cardano has fallen 26.92%. That paradox is the whole story of crypto on November 4, 2026: a bounce that looks healthy on a one-day chart, and a month-long downtrend that has not actually broken yet.

Bitcoin traded around $77,800 on the morning of November 4, per Sonic Wallet's live prices, up about 1.8% in 24 hours, after a wild overnight round trip from a $75,736 low to a $78,164 high. Ethereum rose 2.3% to about $2,291, XRP gained 2.29% to $1.28, Solana added 1.54% to $92.81, and Dogecoin rose 1.5% to $0.0746. The global crypto market capitalisation stood at about $2.69 trillion, per TradingView/Benzinga, up 0.5% on the day. The question for anyone holding crypto today is not whether green is good — it is whether this green day is the start of a recovery, or just a breather inside a fall that still has further to run.

What happened overnight: the $75,736 V-shape

The overnight move tells you more than the daily percentage does. As the first US midterm results came in showing Democrats taking both chambers of Congress, Bitcoin dropped to $75,736 — its lowest since September 17 — before buyers stepped in and pushed it back up by more than $2,400 to a session high of $78,164. It was a textbook V-shape: panic first, buying second, and a close back above both the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement near $76,066 and the 100-day simple moving average near $76,850.

That matters because the level that broke and then held is now the line in the sand. Bitcoin's daily candle on Binance opened at $77,454, according to Coindoo's November 4 market report, and, by the European morning, was trading around $77,988. The daily RSI (14) read 40.71, just under its signal line and still below the 50 midpoint — in other words, momentum has stopped falling, but it has not turned bullish yet. Analysts quoted by CoinDesk noted that traders bought hundreds of millions of dollars in bitcoin call options as election-day options block trading more than doubled, and 10x Research founder Markus Thielen argued that daily stochastics showed Bitcoin oversold, with a rebound toward $82,000 possible.

The political backdrop explains the nerves. With Democrats now in control of Congress from January, the market-structure bill known as the CLARITY Act — already blocked in the Senate — looks dead for the foreseeable future, and traders are pricing in tougher oversight and legislative gridlock. Nasdaq futures fell more than 2% overnight before paring the decline. Crypto did not crash on that news — it dipped, found buyers, and bounced. That resilience is real, but it is not the same thing as a new uptrend.

The ranking that matters: 24 hours vs 30 days

Here is the original ranking at the heart of this article. The first column is what everyone is celebrating today. The second column is what everyone is ignoring — and it changes the story completely.

Coin	Price (Nov 4)	24-hour change	30-day change	Verdict
Bitcoin (BTC)	$77,782	+1.82%	-10.62%	Best of a bad month
Ethereum (ETH)	$2,291	+2.30%	-16.70%	Strongest bounce, deep hole
XRP (XRP)	$1.28	+2.29%	-16.14%	Bounce matches ETH, damage similar
Solana (SOL)	$92.81	+1.54%	-23.76%	Weakest bounce among the majors
Dogecoin (DOGE)	$0.0746	+1.50%	-21.67%	Smallest bounce, second-worst month
Cardano (ADA)	—	Positive	-26.92%	Worst month of the top group

Read that table in two directions. Down the 24-hour column, everything looks equal: a broad, healthy bounce led by Ethereum and XRP. Down the 30-day column, the market splits in two. Bitcoin has lost about a tenth of its value in a month. Cardano has lost more than a quarter. Solana and Dogecoin have lost roughly a fifth or more. A 2% bounce recovers less than a tenth of a 20% monthly fall — it would take ten more days like today, with no red days in between, just to get Solana back to where it was a month ago.

Why Bitcoin is holding up best — and why that matters

Bitcoin is 38% below its all-time high of about $126,156, set in October 2025, yet it is still outperforming every other major coin over 30 days. There are three reasons, and they all point the same way: in a fearful market, money retreats to the safest crypto asset first.

First, Bitcoin has the deepest liquidity and the most institutional plumbing. Even as US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded more than $1 billion in outflows across Friday and Monday — $643.2 million on October 30 and $398.6 million on November 2 — the ETF market still exists, still trades, and still gives large buyers a regulated on-ramp. Altcoins have no equivalent cushion. Second, Bitcoin's narrative in a political shock is simpler: it is the asset traders reach for when they want crypto exposure without picking a winner among competing blockchains. Third, Bitcoin's technical floor is cleaner. The $75,736 low was bought aggressively, the price reclaimed the 100-day moving average, and it is still holding its 200-day exponential moving average near $76,461. Solana, by contrast, is still dealing with the overhang of the $6.3 billion Binance hack, with the hacker reportedly swapping hundreds of thousands of SOL for Bitcoin.

None of this makes Bitcoin "safe" — a 38% drawdown is not safety. It makes Bitcoin relatively resilient: the investor who held mostly Bitcoin lost about 10% in a month; the investor who held mostly Cardano lost about 27%.

Ethereum's buy signal: the TD Sequential flash traders are watching

Ethereum is the most interesting coin in today's bounce, because it has both the strongest 24-hour gain (+2.30%) and a specific technical signal behind it. Chartist Ali Martinez spotted a TD Sequential "buy" signal on Ethereum's 3-day chart — a timing indicator that flashes when a downtrend has run for nine consecutive candles and is statistically due for a pause or reversal. Martinez argued that if buying pressure picks up, ETH could rebound to $2,500, and breaking that level would put the trendline resistance near $2,700 in focus.

Treat that signal as a hypothesis with a level that proves it wrong, not a prediction. Ethereum at $2,291 sits roughly 9% below $2,500 and 18% below $2,700; a daily close below $2,250, then $2,200, would mean the signal failed. Note the tension: Ethereum ETF buyers sit on large paper losses, averaging about $3,200 cost against a $2,290 price, as we covered in our analysis of the $3.5 billion Ethereum ETF loss. Timing can be stretched and overhead selling pressure real at the same time.

XRP, Solana and Dogecoin: three different bounces, three different stories

XRP rose 2.29% to $1.28, nearly matching Ethereum's bounce, and its 30-day loss of 16.14% is the second-smallest in the top group. That relative strength fits with XRP's recent news flow: exchange outflows, new wallets, and the ongoing rotation out of hacked-exchange exposure into self-custody have all supported it. The level to watch is $1.30 — XRP has been probing it for days, and a clean break above it would be the first sign that the bounce has legs rather than just momentum.

Solana's bounce was the softest of the majors at 1.54%, to $92.81, and its 30-day fall of 23.76% is the second-worst. It carries two weights the others do not: the Binance hacker's reported SOL-to-BTC swapping, and a record $71 million weekly outflow from Solana ETFs even as real-world assets on Solana hit $5.12 billion. Network usage and token price are not the same thing — see what Solana is for the distinction.

Dogecoin rose 1.50% to $0.0746, the smallest bounce, with a 30-day loss of 21.67%. It has no ETF flow or staking story — it rises and falls on retail sentiment, and sentiment is fearful: the Fear & Greed Index showed fear, and over $200 million in 24-hour liquidations were mostly leveraged longs wiped out.

The real leaders today are not in the top six at all

Step outside the top six and the day looks different. Zcash led the top coins with a 7.1% jump, followed by Monero at 4.0%, while BNB was the only decliner among the leaders at minus 0.3%. Privacy coins are having a moment: Zcash has been one of the strongest trades of recent weeks, and Monero recently hit an eight-year high, even as the broader market fell.

That rotation is worth understanding, not chasing. Privacy coins rally when traders want assets that are hard to freeze or trace, outside the ETF-and-custody system. They also carry delisting and European regulatory risks ahead of the July 2027 deadline, plus thinner liquidity — see how to buy Zcash, including shielded wallets and the EU deadline. A coin that jumps 7% on a 2% market day can fall 7% on a 2% down day.

Meanwhile, stablecoin supply is quietly tightening: dollar-pegged stablecoin value fell $5.55 billion between October 27 and November 3 to $296.01 billion, and supply is down $17 billion since April even as issuers banked $2.1 billion in a quarter — see our analysis of the $17 billion supply fall. Less stablecoin dry powder on exchanges is one more reason to doubt a single green day marks the bottom.

What most people get wrong about a green day like this

Myth one: "everything is green, so the crash is over." A one-day bounce after a month of double-digit losses is the normal pattern inside a downtrend, not evidence that the downtrend ended. Markets fall in steps: a sharp drop, a bounce that convinces people the worst is over, then another leg down that takes out the previous low. The $75,736 low held today. It has not been proven as a bottom — it has been tested once.

Myth two: "the biggest gainer today is the best buy." Today's leaderboard — Zcash, Monero, Ethereum — is a list of the most volatile assets, not the highest-quality ones. The 30-day column is the quality filter: Bitcoin lost the least, and it bounced the least dramatically, because it had the least to recover. Chasing the daily leaderboard is how traders buy the top of relief rallies.

Myth three: "the election result is priced in now." The midterm result is known in outline — Democrats control Congress from January — but its consequences are not priced in, because they have not happened yet. The CLARITY Act's fate, the next SEC chair's agenda, the Senate Banking Committee's priorities under its new leadership, and the tax treatment of crypto are all still open questions. Markets priced the headline overnight. They have not priced the legislation.

Myth four: "ETF outflows mean institutions are gone." More than $1 billion left Bitcoin ETFs in two sessions, but the ETFs still hold tens of billions of dollars of Bitcoin. Outflows say institutions are de-risking into an uncertain week, not abandoning the asset class — watch whether they slow after Friday's jobs data.

Bull, base and bear: three scenarios for Bitcoin from here

Scenario	What happens	Bitcoin levels	Probability feel
Bull: the V holds	Friday's jobs report is soft, ETF outflows slow, $78,000 breaks	$80,000, then $82,000 (10x Research target)	Needs a catalyst this week
Base: sideways grind	Jobs data is mixed, politics stays noisy, no fresh shock	$75,500–$78,500 range holds	Most likely near-term path
Bear: the low fails	Jobs report is hot, ETF selling continues, $75,736 breaks	$75,000, then $73,000–$74,000	Live risk until $78,000 breaks

The base case deserves emphasis: sideways between $75,500 and $78,500, with the overnight low bought but ETFs selling for a fifth day. Sideways is not failure — a market that stops falling and lets oversold indicators reset is preparing for its next real move.

For Ethereum, the equivalent levels are $2,500 on the upside (the TD Sequential target), $2,700 beyond it, and $2,250 then $2,200 on the downside. For XRP, it is $1.30 on the upside and $1.20 below. Write those numbers down before Friday, because Friday's jobs report will test all of them at once.

What to watch next: three dates that decide this bounce

Today, November 4, Circle reports third-quarter earnings before the US market opens, with analysts expecting revenue of about $789–$802 million and earnings per share of about $0.40–$0.42, down roughly 37% year over year despite USDC circulation rising to $74.58 billion. Circle's report is a proxy for the whole stablecoin economy: if reserve income is falling faster than circulation is growing, the "stablecoins print money" story weakens, and that matters for every trader who parks capital in USDC between trades.

On Thursday, the Bank of England is expected to raise rates to 4% — its first rise since 2023. On Friday, the US October employment report lands: a soft report helps Bitcoin, a hot one hurts it. Until Friday's number is out, every bounce should be treated as provisional.

Watch options too: $230 million in bitcoin calls were bought betting on $82,000. If that buying continues into Friday, it signals conviction; if it fades, today's bounce was mostly short-covering.

Checklist: how to read a green day without getting trapped

• Check the 30-day column before the 24-hour column. A 2% bounce inside a 20% monthly fall is relief, not recovery.
• Check whether Bitcoin held its low. The $75,736 level is the line: above it, the base case lives; below it, the bear case takes over.
• Check ETF flows, not just prices. Five straight days of outflows matter more than one green candle.
• Check whether the leaders are the usual leaders. When privacy coins lead, the market is seeking shelter, not taking risk.
• Check the calendar. Circle today, the Bank of England on Thursday, jobs on Friday — three chances for this bounce to be confirmed or killed.
• Never buy a daily leaderboard. Buy a level: $78,000 broken on volume for bulls, $75,000 held for patient buyers, and nothing in between for anyone who hates whiplash.
• Size for the 30-day volatility, not the daily move. If a 20% monthly swing would force you to sell, your position is too big, whatever the chart says today.

Frequently asked questions

Why did all top cryptocurrencies rise together today?

Because the midterm shock hit the whole market at once, and the relief was equally broad. When Bitcoin bounced from $75,736 to $78,164, short-covering and bargain buyers lifted the top ten together. That says the market was oversold, not that every coin's fundamentals improved.

Is Bitcoin still the safest crypto to hold in a downturn?

Relatively, yes: Bitcoin fell 10.62% in 30 days, less than Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin or Cardano. Absolutely, no: it is still 38% below its all-time high. "Safest in crypto" must never be confused with "safe" like a bank deposit.

What is the TD Sequential buy signal on Ethereum?

It is a technical timing indicator that counts consecutive down candles; after nine, it flashes a potential exhaustion signal. Ali Martinez spotted it on Ethereum's 3-day chart, with $2,500 as the first rebound target and $2,700 beyond it. It is a timing tool with a clear invalidation level — a close below $2,250 weakens it — not a guarantee of higher prices.

Why are Zcash and Monero rising while the market falls?

Privacy coins attract buyers when traders worry about freezes, seizures, hacks and surveillance — all live themes after the $6.3 billion Binance hack. Zcash rose 7.1% and Monero 4.0% on November 4. But privacy coins carry delisting and regulatory risks, especially in Europe, and their volatility cuts both ways.

What will decide whether this bounce lasts?

Three things: Friday's US jobs report, whether Bitcoin ETF outflows slow after five days of selling, and whether Bitcoin breaks $78,000 with volume. If all three turn positive, the bull case toward $80,000–$82,000 opens. If the jobs report is hot and $75,736 breaks, the bear case toward $73,000 takes over.

Should I buy the dip in Solana or Dogecoin now?

Only at a level you chose in advance, with money you can afford to see fall another 20%. Solana's bounce was the weakest among the majors and Dogecoin's the smallest — buyers are not yet confident in either. This article is not financial advice; it is a map of the levels that will tell you whether the dip buyers were right.

Conclusion: a good day, not yet a good month

November 4 gave crypto traders something they have not had much of lately: a day when everything went up together. Ethereum's 2.3% lead, XRP's matching bounce, Bitcoin's reclaim of the 100-day moving average, and the privacy-coin surge all point to a market that was oversold and ready for relief. But the 30-day table has not changed: Bitcoin down 10.62%, Ethereum down 16.70%, XRP down 16.14%, Solana down 23.76%, Dogecoin down 21.67%, Cardano down 26.92%. Until those numbers start shrinking — until the monthly column turns, not just the daily one — the honest summary of this market is a good day inside a bad month. Watch $75,736 below and $78,000 above, watch Friday's jobs report, and let the levels, not the colour of today's candle, make the decision for you.
