Data Analysis
The release
Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 13 August 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Producer Price Index came in at 0.0% for July 2026, against -0.3% in June 2026. Producer prices are still falling, 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 $63,582.11 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was unchanged, and an hour later unchanged. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.53% of its price, against 0.38% in the hour before.
Measured by Clometrix
Bitcoin's volatility ratio was 2.36x, against 2.08x for a typical PPI release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.23x, 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 was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 2.36x 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 showed little movement after the July 2026 PPI release, with the price holding at $63,582.11 through the first hour. The high-to-low range reached 0.53 percent in that hour, up from 0.38 percent beforehand. Volatility rose to 2.36 times the normal quarter-hour level, close to the 2.08 times median recorded across 70 prior PPI releases since 2021. Volume increased 2.23 times against a typical 2.30 times, confirming the measured outcome stayed within the event's usual bounds.
Timing placed the data 33 days before the September FOMC decision, outside the two-week window where median volatility has run 2.18 times. That placed the observed 2.36 times ratio in line with the 2.05 times median for non-proximate releases.
Clometrix therefore records the reaction as ordinary for Bitcoin on PPI. The outcome adds to the longer record showing that proximity to a policy meeting has produced only marginal differences in median volatility for this event.
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).
