Measured by Clometrix
Bittensor's volatility ratio was 3.21x, against 1.68x for a typical Personal Income release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 7.40x, against a typical 2.40x. 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 Bittensor moved
Bittensor was at $306.90 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.08% higher, and an hour later 2.25% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 2.61% of its price, against 1.27% in the hour before.
The release
Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 30 September 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Income and Outlays came in at 0.2% for August 2026, against 0.4% in July 2026. Personal income is still rising, but more slowly than before.
It arrived at the same moment as Personal Consumption Expenditures, Core Personal Consumption Expenditures and Gross Domestic Product Report, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Personal Income releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Bittensor less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.37x across 8, against 1.76x across 22. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 3.21x compares with 1.76x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
Its record
Across 30 Personal Income releases since 2021, Bittensor's median volatility ratio is 1.68x.

What is the Personal Income and Outlays?
Personal Income measures the change in the total value of income received from all sources by consumers. Income is closely correlated with consumer spending, which accounts for a majority of overall economic activity.Questions about this page
Is 3.21x a lot?
For a Personal Income release it is strong: the usual is 1.68x. Each report has its own usual size, and its releases show it.

What is PCE, and why does the Fed watch it?
PCE is the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The Federal Reserve measures its 2 percent inflation goal with the PCE price index. PCE, Core PCE and Personal Income are released together at 8:30 a.m. ET and share one reaction. Their median Bitcoin price swing since 2021 is 2.03x, which places them in Tier 2.
