Bitcoin and ethereum prices today, Thursday, September 10, 2026: Crypto prices slide back with inflation data on tap

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) opened at $78,291.64 on Thursday, September 10, 2026, down 0.2% compared to Wednesday's opening price. As of 7:19 a.m. ET this morning, the price of bitcoin slid back to $77,941.56.

Ethereum (ETH-USD) opened at $2,467 on Thursday, September 10, 2026, down 0.7% from Wednesday's opening price. The price of ethereum slid this morning to $2,464.92 as of 7:19 a.m. ET.

Both bitcoin and ethereum prices opened at their lowest levels this week ahead of key inflation data less than a week away from the Fed's rate-setting meeting. Despite the low open prices, bitcoin and ethereum are holding strong month-over-month gains.

Investors of all stripes are awaiting the Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI) data due today and tomorrow for one final look at prior inflation data before the Fed meets for its two-day rate-setting meeting starting on Tuesday.

Currently, there's a 62.2% chance the Fed will raise rates next week, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool. Higher rates should negatively affect crypto prices in the short term.
