What moves Bitcoin

Bitcoin moves with the market's appetite for risk (often together with the Nasdaq), with flows into spot ETFs, with regulators' decisions and with exchange events (hacks, failures, frozen withdrawals). It trades 24 hours a day, weekends included, so its "usual" move is wider than an index's.

How we measure

For each instrument we compute its "usual" move over 4 hours of open market (the median of recent days, excluding weekends and closed hours). When we publish a story, we look at the price 4 market hours later: if it moved more than usual we write "moved the price", otherwise "the market did not react". A big story with a flat price usually means the market already expected it.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Bitcoin moving today?

Look at "The news, measured" above: you'll find today's verified stories about Bitcoin and, for each, whether it moved the price more than usual. If there are none, the move has no verified public cause.

How do you tell whether a story moved the price?

We compare the move in the 4 market hours after the story with that instrument's usual move over the same span. The calculation is automatic and the same for every story.

Is this investment advice?

No. Tickerlane says what happened and what the market is pricing, never what to do. We make no price predictions.
