  "account": "Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and ethereum (ETH-USD) experienced slight price fluctuations this morning on Thursday, September 3, 2026. Bitcoin began the day at $77,310.77, a 0.1% decrease from Wednesday's opening, before rising to $77,892.97 by 7:19 a.m. ET. Ethereum started at $2,391.30, down 1.1% from Wednesday, and climbed to $2,402.09 at the same time.\n\nTensions have escalated with U.S. airstrikes against Iranian targets, causing oil prices to surge to over $96 per barrel. Despite this, both cryptocurrencies showed an upward trend, driven by optimism that the president's remarks on the airstrikes being short-lived will prove true and that the energy price surge will diminish. Investors are also watching the August jobs report scheduled for release on Friday.\n\nLooking back, 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 highest price was $4,953.73 on August 24, 2025, with its lowest point at $0.4209 on October 21, 2015.
