Ethereum and Solana fall more than Bitcoin as the crypto market weakens
On 12 November 2026, Ethereum fell 4.1% to about $1,995 and Solana fell 4.9% to about $81, according to 24/7 Wall St. Over 30 days, Ether is down 19.9% and Solana is down 24.3%. Bitcoin is down 14.2% over the same period.
The report notes that Bitcoin has the largest ETF and institutional following, so it tends to be sold last, while smaller coins often fall harder in a weak market.
Why this happens: when investors become nervous, they tend to sell riskier coins first and keep the bigger, better-known ones. In a rising market the opposite often happens, and smaller coins can rise faster than Bitcoin.
What to remember: bigger falls can also mean bigger bounces, but there is no guarantee. Coins ranked lower by market value are usually more risky than Bitcoin and Ethereum.
