Bitcoin and ethereum prices today, Thursday, September 10, 2026: Crypto prices slide back with inflation data on tap
Bitcoin and Ethereum prices fell on Thursday, September 10, 2026, following inflation data announcements. Bitcoin opened at $78,291.64, down 0.2% from the previous day, and traded down to $77,941.56 by 7:19 a.m. ET. Ethereum started at $2,467, slipping 0.7% from Wednesday's opening, and dropped to $2,464.92 this morning. Both cryptocurrencies opened at their weakest levels in the week ahead of crucial inflation data coming soon.
Despite the low opens, both Bitcoin and Ethereum have shown gains over the past month. Investors are eagerly awaiting the Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI) reports for their final glimpse at inflation data before the Federal Reserve's rate-setting meeting on Tuesday. The probability of a Fed rate hike next week stands at 62.2%, as indicated by the CME Group's FedWatch tool. Higher rates could negatively impact crypto prices in the short term.
