Karachi, January 24, 2026 — Bitcoin showed mild recovery on Saturday as the world’s largest cryptocurrency traded higher in both the US dollar (USD) and Pakistani rupee (PKR) after a volatile week marked by sharp midweek losses.
According to market data, 1 Bitcoin (BTC) was valued at $89,700.35 on January 24, 2026, posting a daily increase of $181.74, or 0.20%. Despite today’s uptick, Bitcoin has recorded an overall weekly decline of $5,740.67, reflecting continued uncertainty in the global crypto market driven by profit-taking and macroeconomic pressures.
Over the past seven days, Bitcoin experienced steep drops between January 19 and January 20, when prices slipped below the $89,000 level. However, gradual recovery during the latter half of the week helped limit further downside. On a monthly basis, Bitcoin remains in positive territory, gaining $2,080.30, or 2.32%, compared to its level on December 25, 2025.
In the local market, Bitcoin traded at Rs25,089,605.62 per BTC, rising by Rs50,833.41 (0.20%) on Saturday. Similar to dollar-denominated prices, Bitcoin in rupee terms posted a weekly decrease of Rs1.65 million, largely due to global price corrections and exchange rate movements.
However, on a 30-day basis, Bitcoin has strengthened in Pakistan, gaining Rs541,877.76, or 2.16%, highlighting sustained long-term investor interest despite short-term volatility.
Market analysts advise investors to remain cautious, as Bitcoin prices continue to react sharply to global financial signals and regulatory developments.
