How Much Could Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Solana Move After the U.S. Inflation Report?
The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September is anticipated to rise by ~3.1% year-on-year, the highest in 18 months.
According to options-market implied volatility:
Bitcoin: ±1.4% move expected.
Ethereum: ±2.9% move expected.
XRP: ~±4.7% move expected (91% one-day implied vol).
Solana: ~±4.0% move expected (76% one-day implied vol).
Analysts note that a lower-than-expected CPI could spur risk-on flows and boost the crypto market, while a hotter print may strengthen the U.S. dollar and weigh on crypto.
The expected moves reflect standard volatility levels around major data releases and are not automatically bullish or bearish.
