The release

Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 29 July 2025 at 10:00 AM EDT. The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey fell to 7.437M for June 2025, from 7.712M in May 2025.

Measured by Clometrix

Bitcoin Cash's volatility ratio was 1.36x, against 1.84x for a typical JOLTs Job Openings release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.19x, against a typical 2.18x. 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 Bitcoin Cash moved

Bitcoin Cash was at $568.90 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.47% lower, and an hour later 0.98% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.32% of its price, against 1.2% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, JOLTs Job Openings releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Bitcoin Cash about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.83x across 26, against 1.84x across 44. This one came out the day before the Federal Reserve's 30 July rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.36x compares with 1.83x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 70 JOLTs Job Openings releases since 2021, Bitcoin Cash's usual price swing is 1.84x. This one was 0.74 times the usual.

What is the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey?

The job openings and labor turnover survey (JOLTS) is a monthly report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor counting job vacancies and separations, including the number of workers voluntarily quitting employment. The BLS surveys more than 20,000 businesses and government offices to estimate the numbers of U.S. job vacancies, hires, and separations included in the monthly jobs report. The job separations numbers are subdivided into three categories: quits, or voluntary resignations; layoffs and discharges; and other separations, which include deaths and retirements. The number of vacancies is a widely followed indicator of labor demand, while the quits rate is partly a function of employment demand. Job hires and separations can be used to gauge labor turnover.
