Data Analysis
The release
Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 11 June 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Producer Price Index came in at 1.1% for May 2026, against 1.4% in April 2026. Producer prices are still rising, but more slowly than before.
It arrived at the same moment as Core Producer Price Index, Initial Jobless Claims and Continued Jobless Claims, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
How Bitcoin moved
Bitcoin was at $62,684.00 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.37% higher, and an hour later 0.21% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.86% of its price, against 0.94% in the hour before.
Measured by Clometrix
Bitcoin's volatility ratio was 2.64x, against 2.08x for a typical PPI release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 5.30x, against a typical 2.30x. That is about 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.
What made it matter
Since 2021, PPI 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 2.18x across 29, against 2.05x across 41. This one came out 6 days before the Federal Reserve's 17 June rate decision. Its own ratio of 2.64x compares with 2.18x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
Its record
Across 70 PPI releases since 2021, Bitcoin's median volatility ratio is 2.08x.
What it means
Bitcoin registered an ordinary reaction to the May Producer Price Index release that arrived alongside core PPI and jobless claims data. Its volatility ratio reached 2.64 times the level of a normal quarter hour, modestly above the 2.08 times median recorded across seventy prior PPI prints since 2021.
The event occurred six days ahead of the Federal Reserve's June policy meeting. Releases in that window have produced a median volatility ratio of 2.18 times for Bitcoin, so the observed move exceeded the timing-adjusted benchmark by a limited margin.
Volume expanded to 5.30 times normal, more than double the typical 2.30 times ratio for this event. Bitcoin traded in a 0.86 percent high-low range over the following hour, little changed from the 0.94 percent range that preceded the data.
Traders monitoring upcoming PPI prints may therefore anticipate volatility patterns consistent with the longer-term record rather than outsized responses.
About Producer Price Index
The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures the average change over time in the prices domestic producers receive for their output. It is a measure of inflation at the wholesale level that is compiled from thousands of indexes measuring producer prices by industry and product category. The index is published monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
