  "account": "On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the price of Bitcoin opened at $78,181.33, 1.8% higher than Monday's opening. By 7:24 a.m. ET, Bitcoin's value had dropped to $76,931.56. Ethereum began the day at $2,515.17, 1.6% above Monday's opening, but had slipped to $2,480.37 by 7:24 a.m. ET. Rising fears surrounding AI and escalating tensions in the Iran conflict contributed to energy price increases, intensifying concerns that the Federal Reserve might raise rates at its upcoming two-day meeting. The CME Group's FedWatch tool highlighted a 92.5% probability of a rate hike following the meeting, up from 86.5% the previous day.",
