Data Analysis
The release
Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 11 December 2019 at 8:30 AM EST. The Consumer Price Index came in at 0.3% for November 2019, against 0.3% in October 2019. Consumer prices are rising at the same pace as before.
It arrived at the same moment as Core Consumer Price Index and Core Inflation Rate, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
How Bitcoin moved
Bitcoin was at $7,222.36 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.16% higher, and an hour later 0.17% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.44% of its price, against 0.66% in the hour before.
Measured by Clometrix
Bitcoin's volatility ratio was 1.51x, against 4.28x for a typical CPI release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.52x, against a typical 6.92x. That is a muted reaction by this release's own standard. 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.
What made it matter
Since 2021, CPI releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Bitcoin more than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 4.75x across 28, against 3.99x across 42. This one came out on the day of the Federal Reserve's 11 December rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.51x compares with 4.75x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.
Its record
Across 70 CPI releases since 2021, Bitcoin's median volatility ratio is 4.28x.
About Consumer Price Index
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the monthly change in prices paid by U.S. consumers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calculates the CPI as a weighted average of prices for a basket of goods and services representative of aggregate U.S. consumer spending. The CPI is one of the most popular measures of inflation and deflation. The index is published monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
