Bitcoin was trading near $76,100 on Saturday, November 7, as India approached Diwali, with Ether and Solana also showing modest gains in a timestamped market snapshot. The improvement followed a weak Friday session for Bitcoin, rather than establishing a festival-driven rally.
CoinGecko’s public price feed showed Bitcoin at $76,106 with a rolling 24-hour change of approximately 0.17%. Its data timestamp was November 7 at 09:08:48 UTC, equivalent to 2:38:48 p.m. IST. Ether stood at $2,246.88, up about 0.47%, and Solana at $90.20, up about 0.29%; both observations were timestamped 09:08:43 UTC.
A Saturday snapshot after Friday’s setback
The figures describe one provider’s observations at a particular moment. They are not executable quotes on every exchange, Indian-rupee prices or a forecast for Sunday. Rolling 24-hour changes also use a moving comparison window, so they should not be treated as gains measured from a universal daily opening bell.
Cointelegraph reported on November 6 that Bitcoin fell to $74,762 after Wall Street opened, citing TradingView data, while U.S. technology shares rebounded. The report placed that decline alongside stronger-than-expected U.S. employment data. Its Friday observation and Saturday’s CoinGecko snapshot use different times and data sources; the prices should not be combined into an exact trading-return calculation.
Diwali stock hours do not govern crypto
India’s stock exchanges are holding their special Muhurat session on Sunday, November 8. NSE’s cash-market circular opens continuous trading at 2:20 p.m. IST, with separate closing times for shares subject to its closing auction and other securities. The Token Press’s full Muhurat schedule explains those distinctions.
Global crypto spot markets have a different clock. Coinbase describes spot crypto trading as a 24/7 market. Diwali therefore does not create a common crypto opening or closing time. Continuous trading at the market level also does not guarantee uninterrupted deposits, withdrawals or support at any particular exchange.
What the figures can establish
The available evidence supports a limited picture: the three large tokens were modestly higher in their respective rolling 24-hour windows on Saturday afternoon in India, with Bitcoin above the sub-$75,000 level reported Friday. None of those observations isolates Indian holiday buying or proves that Diwali caused the change.
For readers comparing a local crypto quote with these dollar figures, the exchange, currency, observation time and fees all matter. A holiday promotion or a short-term gain is not evidence that price risk has disappeared.
