Measured by Clometrix
Bittensor's volatility ratio was 3.26x, against 1.40x for a typical Initial Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 9.39x, against a typical 1.74x. That is more than twice 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.
How Bittensor moved
Bittensor was at $250.00 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.56% lower, and an hour later 2.84% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 4.08% of its price, against 1.72% in the hour before.
The release
Released by the Department of Labor on 10 September 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. Initial Jobless Claims was unchanged at 206K for the week ending 5th Sep.
It arrived at the same moment as Producer Price Index, Core Producer Price Index and Continued Jobless Claims, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Initial Claims releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Bittensor more than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.54x across 42, against 1.25x across 91. This one came out 6 days before the Federal Reserve's 16 September rate decision. Its own ratio of 3.26x compares with 1.54x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
Its record
Across 133 Initial Claims releases since 2021, Bittensor's median volatility ratio is 1.40x.
How it compares

What is Initial Jobless Claims?
The weekly claims report is released Thursdays at 8:30 a.m. ET by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Initial claims are new jobless claims filed by U.S. workers seeking unemployment compensation, included in the unemployment insurance weekly claims report. The report, published since 1967, includes a separate count of workers receiving unemployment insurance benefits, known as continuing claims.Questions about this page

Will the next Initial Claims do the same?
