BTC Volatility Analysis for Non-Farm Payrolls, 6th June 2025

Data Analysis

Measured by Clometrix

Bitcoin's volatility ratio was 4.17x, against 3.21x for a typical Non-Farm Payrolls release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 5.85x, against a typical 4.71x. That is a strong 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.

How Bitcoin moved

Bitcoin was at $103,849.52 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.15% lower, and an hour later 0.07% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.76% of its price, against 0.33% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 6 June 2025 at 8:30 AM EDT. The economy added 19K jobs for May 2025, according to Non-Farm Payrolls, after a gain of 158K in April 2025.

It arrived at the same moment as Non-Farm Private Payrolls and Unemployment Rate, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Non-Farm Payrolls releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Bitcoin about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 3.15x across 21, against 3.22x across 49. This one came out 12 days before the Federal Reserve's 18 June rate decision. Its own ratio of 4.17x compares with 3.15x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Its record

Across 70 Non-Farm Payrolls releases since 2021, Bitcoin's median volatility ratio is 3.21x.

About Non-Farm Payrolls

Nonfarm payrolls is the measure of the number of workers in the U.S. excluding farm workers and workers in a handful of other job classifications. This is measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which surveys private and government entities throughout the U.S. about their payrolls. The BLS reports the nonfarm payroll numbers to the public on a monthly basis through the closely followed “Employment Situation” report.
