The release

Released by the Department of Labor on 30 July 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. Continued Jobless Claims rose to 1801K for the week ending 18th Jul, from 1782K in the week ending 11th Jul.

It arrived at the same moment as Personal Income and Outlays, Personal Consumption Expenditures, Core Personal Consumption Expenditures, Initial Jobless Claims and Gross Domestic Product Report, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

Measured by Clometrix

Shiba Inu's volatility ratio was 1.01x, against 1.34x for a typical Continued Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 5.87x, against a typical 1.71x. Under 1.5x is not a reaction at all: the market barely noticed this release. Both compare the quarter hour of the release with an ordinary quarter hour that same day, where 1.00x is no change: volatility is how far the price ranged, volume how much traded.

How Shiba Inu moved

Shiba Inu was at $0.000005 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.22% higher, and an hour later 0.22% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.87% of its price, against 1.08% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Continued Claims releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Shiba Inu more than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.50x across 86, against 1.30x across 193. This one came out the day after the Federal Reserve's 29 July rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.01x compares with 1.30x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 279 Continued Claims releases since 2021, Shiba Inu's usual price swing is 1.34x. This one was 0.75 times the usual.

Thin line: Continued Claims's usual, 1.34x. Thick line: this release, 1.01x. Under 1.5x counts as no reaction at all.

What is Continued Jobless Claims?

The weekly claims report is released Thursdays at 8:30 a.m. ET by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Continued claims, also referred to as insured unemployment, is the number of people who have already filed an initial claim and who have experienced a week of unemployment and then filed a continued claim to claim benefits for that week of unemployment. Continued claims data are based on the week of unemployment, not the week when the initial claim was filed.

Questions about this page

Is 1.01x a lot?

No. Under 1.5x the market barely noticed the release.

Will the next Continued Claims do the same?

Nobody can say. A forecast shows the range Shiba Inu moved in after past Continued Claims releases, so you can plan for the likely size of the move.

Do weekly jobless claims move crypto?

Weekly jobless claims have a median Bitcoin price swing of 1.52x since 2021, which places Initial Claims and Continued Claims in Tier 3. They are released at 8:30 a.m. ET. When a claims release falls on the same minute as a bigger report, such as CPI, the reaction belongs to both. Clometrix measures 296 claims releases in the record since 2021.
