CryptoPotato’s Nov. 6 price analysis focused on 
Ethereum, 
XRP, Cardano, 
BNB and Hyperliquid following the conclusion of the US midterm elections. The outlet said ETH rose 10% quickly before surrendering the full advance one day later, a move it interpreted as reconfirming $2,400 as resistance.
That technical narrative is consistent with the current market snapshot: Ethereum is trading at $2,227.34, down 6.64% over 24 hours but nearly unchanged over seven days at +0.11%. Its market capitalization is $272.22 billion. XRP is also under pressure at $1.18, with a 9.53% daily decline and a 4.88% weekly fall.
BNB trades at $694.15, down 2.34% over 24 hours and 0.65% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $91.3 billion. DeFiLlama reports Hyperliquid’s total value locked at $1.83 billion, down 6.5% over seven days, providing the available on-chain context for the token included in the analysis.
The broader picture remains weak: total crypto market capitalization is $2.61 trillion, 
Bitcoin is down 4.98% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index stands at 28, within the Fear zone. The key level to watch for ETH is the $2,400 area identified by CryptoPotato, alongside whether selling across major assets continues to outweigh isolated rebounds.
Since this brief published about 5 hours ago, Ethereum (ETH) has moved from ₹2,10,566.11$2,227.34 to ₹2,11,191.00$2,233.95 — +0.30%.
The chart plots ETH's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₹230,655.34 (about $2,233.95), down 1.4% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.2% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
