Data Analysis
The release
Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 30 January 2026 at 8:30 AM EST. The Producer Price Index came in at 0.4% for December 2025, against 0.1% in October 2025. Producer prices are rising faster than before.
It arrived at the same moment as Core Producer Price Index, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
How Bitcoin moved
Bitcoin was at $82,714.00 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.26% higher, and an hour later 0.32% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.85% of its price, against 0.45% in the hour before.
Measured by Clometrix
Bitcoin's volatility ratio was 2.04x, against 2.08x for a typical PPI release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.47x, 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 2 days after the Federal Reserve's 28 January rate decision. Its own ratio of 2.04x compares with 2.05x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.
Its record
Across 70 PPI releases since 2021, Bitcoin's median volatility ratio is 2.08x.
What it means
Bitcoin's reaction to the December 2025 PPI release was ordinary by the standards of the event. The volatility ratio reached 2.04x in the quarter hour after the print, compared with the 2.08x median recorded across 70 PPI releases since 2021. Volume rose only 1.47x against a typical 2.30x, confirming that trading activity stayed close to the event's usual footprint.
The price path reflected that measured outcome. Bitcoin stood at $82,714.00 at the 8:30 AM EST release and rose 0.26 percent within fifteen minutes and 0.32 percent within the hour. Its high-to-low range expanded to 0.85 percent of spot in the post-release hour from 0.45 percent beforehand. The move therefore stayed within the bounds Clometrix records for a routine PPI print.
Timing relative to Federal Reserve decisions supplied little additional lift. The release arrived two days after the 28 January 2026 rate decision and forty-six days before the March meeting, placing it outside the two-week window that has historically produced a median volatility ratio of 2.18x. Its own 2.04x ratio aligned closely with the 2.05x median observed for releases at comparable distances from policy meetings. The record shows no systematic departure from that level under these conditions.
