Bitcoin and ethereum prices today, Friday, September 11, 2026: Bitcoin falls below $77,000 with key inflation data on deck
On Friday, September 11, 2026, the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced a decline. Bitcoin opened at $76,535.95, falling to $76,758.63 by 7:23 a.m. ET, marking a 2.2% decrease from the previous day. Ethereum, which opened at $2,437.02, slipped to $2,453.68, a 1.2% drop from Thursday's opening. Last week, Bitcoin had been above $81,000 following positive statements from a Federal Reserve governor about potential rate stability and in the wake of Iran's ongoing war, which drove diesel prices to record highs.
The anticipation of a rate increase next week has further impacted crypto prices, as higher interest rates pose a challenge to cryptocurrencies, which do not generate interest for investors. Bitcoin's all-time high was $126,198.07 on October 6, 2025, while its lowest point was $0.04865 on July 14, 2010. Ethereum's all-time high was $4,953.73 on August 24, 2025, with its lowest point at $0.4209 on October 21, 2015.
