> Bitcoin bounced from $80,300 as oil eased on Trump's promise not to hit Iran before the midterms. The price in rupees and the levels traders are watching.

**Bitcoin climbed back to about $82,000 on Friday 9 October** after US President Donald Trump said the United States would not attack Iran before the 3 November midterm elections, [CoinDesk reported](https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/10/09/bitcoin-rebounds-to-usd82-000-as-trump-rules-out-iran-strikes). Selling stopped near **$80,300** on Thursday night once Trump's post appeared.

## Bitcoin price today in rupees

At the site's 12:15pm PKT reading, bitcoin was **$82,496** and ether **$2,497**. At the interbank dollar rate of **Rs 277.01** recorded at the same time, that puts **one bitcoin at about Rs 2.29 crore (Rs 22.85 million)** and **one ether at about Rs 6.92 lakh**.

## Why crypto fell, and why it bounced

Two things hit prices on Thursday:

- **War risk.** Axios reported on 7 October that the Pentagon had told US Central Command to prepare to resume major combat in Iran. US crude (WTI) jumped from $89 to $93.20 a barrel. After Trump's post, in which he called talks with Iran "productive" but said the US blockade would stay, oil fell back to about $90.69 and crypto recovered.
- **Quantum fears.** Worries that advances in AI and computing could weaken the cryptography behind bitcoin and ether added to the selling. Coinbase's Yehuda Lindell dismissed the worry as "FUD", while Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said the risk is real and pointed to lattice-based cryptography as the answer, CoinDesk reported.

Ether, XRP and Solana trimmed Thursday's losses but were still down on the day at the time of CoinDesk's report: ether near $2,503, XRP at $1.41 and Solana at $110.68.

## Levels traders are watching

Analysts quoted by CoinDesk see **$81,000 as support** and **$82,000 as resistance**. A break below $81,000 could send bitcoin towards $80,000 and then $77,200; a move up to $83,300 and $85,500 would need stronger inflows into the US bitcoin ETFs.

## What it means for crypto holders in Pakistan

Crypto prices in Pakistan follow the dollar price, so the rupee value moves with both bitcoin and the [dollar rate](/data/usd-pkr). This week's swing shows how quickly news from the Gulf, which also drives [petrol prices](/data/petrol-price) here, can move crypto too. Treat any platform that promises fixed returns with caution.
