Bitcoin steadies near $82,500 after Trump rules out Iran strike before midterms

Bitcoin rebounded to around $82,500 after President Trump stated the U.S. would not attack Iran before the November midterm elections, easing geopolitical concerns. Despite this recovery, Bitcoin remains about 4% lower over the week, while Ether has dropped 9%. Smaller tokens led gains, with Starknet’s STRK surging 33% on plans to become a standalone quantum-resistant blockchain by 2027. Market sentiment improved but outflows from major crypto ETFs continued, and significant liquidations occurred, especially in Ether positions.

Starknet's STRK surged 31.78% in one day to Rp1.313 on Pluang as of Oct 09, 2026 17:51 WIB, reflecting strong interest in its quantum-resistant blockchain plans. Bitcoin trades at Rp1.473.485.417 with a slight 0.28% decline over the day, while buy orders dominate at 76%. This shows that despite Bitcoin's weekly drop, demand remains steady among Pluang users.
