The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 30 July 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at -0.1% for June 2026, against 0.4% in May 2026. Prices are falling, after a rise.

It arrived at the same moment as Personal Income and Outlays, Core Personal Consumption Expenditures, Initial Jobless Claims, Continued Jobless Claims and Gross Domestic Product Report, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

Measured by Clometrix

Bitcoin Cash's volatility ratio was 1.00x, against 1.67x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 0.86x, against a typical 2.00x. 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 $211.50 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.09% lower, and an hour later 0.28% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.57% of its price, against 0.9% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE 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 1.74x across 18, against 1.64x across 52. This one came out the day after the Federal Reserve's 29 July rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.00x compares with 1.64x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 70 PCE releases since 2021, Bitcoin Cash's usual price swing is 1.67x. This one was 0.60 times the usual.

Thin line: PCE's usual, 1.67x. Thick line: this release, 1.00x. Under 1.5x counts as no reaction at all.

What is the Personal Consumption Expenditures?

Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is a measure of the prices people in the United States pay for goods and services. PCE accounts for about two-thirds of domestic spending and is a significant driver of gross domestic product (GDP). An estimated total of personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis as one way to measure and track changes in the prices of consumer goods over time.
