Karachi, February 5, 2026: Bitcoin prices continued to face downward pressure on Thursday, extending recent losses in both global and domestic markets. The world’s largest cryptocurrency has witnessed heightened volatility over the past week and month, reflecting shifting investor sentiment, macroeconomic uncertainty, and profit-taking across digital assets.
As of today, 1 Bitcoin (BTC) is valued at $73,370.67 in the United States, marking a sharp decline compared to levels seen at the end of January. Over the last seven days, Bitcoin has lost $10,661.60, highlighting sustained bearish momentum in the short term. The most pronounced fall occurred on January 31, when BTC dropped by nearly eight percent in a single day, followed by intermittent recoveries that failed to reverse the overall trend.
On a monthly basis, Bitcoin has registered an even steeper contraction. Compared to January 6, 2026, when the cryptocurrency was trading above $93,000, the price has declined by $19,877.76, representing a cumulative decrease of more than 27 percent over 30 days. Analysts attribute the slide to tightening global liquidity conditions, regulatory uncertainty, and cautious positioning ahead of key economic indicators.
In Pakistan, Bitcoin prices mirrored international movements, compounded by exchange rate dynamics. On February 5, 2026, 1 Bitcoin is priced at Rs20,510,526.01. Over the past week, the value of BTC in Pakistani rupees has fallen by Rs3,003,280.32, underscoring the sharp erosion in value for local investors and traders.
The monthly decline in rupee terms has been even more significant. Since January 6, when Bitcoin was trading near Rs26.1 million, the digital currency has shed approximately Rs5.59 million, translating into a depreciation of over 27 percent within a month. Market participants noted that while occasional intraday recoveries were observed, they were insufficient to offset persistent selling pressure.
Crypto market observers caution that Bitcoin may continue to experience volatility in the near term, advising investors to closely monitor global financial developments and exercise prudence amid rapid price swings.
