BTC and ETH show signs of recovery after last week's Binance hack-induced sell-off but remain below recent highs. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹73,13,104 ($77,038.00), up 0.4% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by CaptainAltcoin, with live market data added, as of Tue, 03 Nov 2026 02:00:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The recovery attempts highlight the market's sensitivity to security incidents, with prices still struggling to regain pre-hack levels despite some stabilization.

Key takeaways
  • BTC and ETH prices show modest recovery after Binance hack sell-off.
  • BTC trades around $76,700-$78,000; ETH near $2,250.
  • Market remains in 'Fear' territory with overall crypto cap at $2.64T.

On November 3, Bitcoin and Ethereum are showing signs of recovery after last week's Binance hack triggered a wave of selling across the crypto market. Bitcoin is currently trading in the range of $76,700 to $78,000, while Ethereum is holding near $2,250.

Despite the recovery attempts, both assets are still below the levels they were at before the security incident. Ethereum has performed slightly better over the past 24 hours, but neither has fully recovered from the losses incurred during the sell-off.

The broader market remains in a state of volatility, with the total crypto market cap at $2.64 trillion and the overall market trend pointing downwards. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 26, indicating a 'Fear' sentiment among investors.

Bitcoin's 24-hour price change is -2.16%, with a 7-day change of -3.97%, while Ethereum has seen a 24-hour decline of 1.31% and a 7-day drop of 2.61%. These figures reflect the ongoing uncertainty in the market following the hack.

The recovery attempts suggest that while the market is stabilizing, it remains fragile. Investors will be watching closely to see if BTC and ETH can continue to regain ground or if further volatility lies ahead.
