Bitcoin opened at $80,351.40 Monday, 0.7% above Sunday, then eased to $79,349.91 by mid-morning. Ethereum opened at $2,514.80, up 1.4% and its strongest open since August 22. The week's only real event is Friday's August Consumer Price Index release, with the Cleveland Fed nowcast at 0.36% headline and 0.20% core month-over-month against Wall Street consensus of 0.4% and 0.2%.
