Bitcoin and ethereum prices opened lower this morning, as they did on Friday, but have moved up in early trading, despite oil prices moving even higher today following reports of attacks in the Middle East over the weekend.

An attack on a Saudi Arabian pipeline, as well as on homes and a mosque, has global oil prices (BZ=F) up over 11% in the last five-day period. Expectations that the Fed will raise rates this week have also risen appreciably. This morning, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool, the chances for a rate increase this week are now 86.5%, up from 69.4% on Friday morning.

Higher rates will put at least a temporary lid on crypto-price growth.
