Data Analysis
The release
Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 24 October 2025 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Consumer Price Index came in at 0.3% for September 2025, against 0.3% in August 2025. 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 $111,006.70 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.5% higher, and an hour later 0.21% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.09% of its price, against 0.61% in the hour before.
Measured by Clometrix
Bitcoin's volatility ratio was 5.29x, against 4.28x for a typical CPI release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 11.56x, against a typical 6.92x. That is about what this release usually does. 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 5 days before the Federal Reserve's 29 October rate decision. Its own ratio of 5.29x compares with 4.75x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.
Its record
Across 70 CPI releases since 2021, Bitcoin's median volatility ratio is 4.28x.
What it means
Bitcoin registered an ordinary reaction to the September CPI release. Its volatility ratio reached 5.29x in the quarter hour after the print, near the 4.28x median observed across 70 CPI releases since 2021.
The release arrived five days before the Federal Reserve's 29 October rate decision. Releases in that two-week window have produced a higher median volatility ratio of 4.75x since 2021, compared with 3.99x outside it. Traders reviewing similar pre-Fed CPI prints can note that the timing effect has been consistent in the record, though each release still carries its own dispersion around the median.
Price action remained contained. Bitcoin stood at $111,006.70 at the release and rose 0.5 percent within fifteen minutes before closing the hour 0.21 percent higher. The high-to-low range widened to 1.09 percent of spot from 0.61 percent in the preceding hour.
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).
