Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Bitcoin's 30-minute price movement immediately following the Fed chair's Jackson Hole speech ran roughly 3x normal levels, the largest multiple among major economic events analyzed by Bitcoin.com News, which compared BTC price action around key calendar items from January 2018 through October 2026. Post-release 30-minute volatility measured about 2.6x normal around the Fed chair's press conference, 2.2x around US jobs reports, 2.0x around FOMC statements, and 1.9x around CPI releases, against a baseline 30-minute move of roughly 0.2%. The findings underscore that macro policy events—not crypto-native catalysts—drive Bitcoin's sharpest short-term repricing, with Jackson Hole standing out as the single most volatility-inducing event type. Traders and risk desks should watch upcoming Fed communication dates, particularly chair speeches and press conferences, as the highest-probability windows for outsized BTC swings.
