Corrections

When we find a mistake on the site, we fix it and list it here, newest first. How we measure the data is set out in our methodology.

3 November 2026: a third review

An independent review found mistakes our checks had missed. We have corrected them and extended the checks to cover these kinds of claim:

• Fed counts: market pages give 78 Fed decisions for Bitcoin and Ether, because their stats leave out the three unscheduled statements of March 2020. The methodology's coverage table said 81. Our earlier note that the counts now matched was wrong for the Fed. Market pages now say the count is scheduled meetings only, and the coverage table uses the same counts as the market pages. For GBP/USD the table had counted the daily fix too, so it now shows the smaller number of releases with minute prices.
• A range across coins: the US CPI recap of 10 April 2024 said every coin was between 1.6% and 2.5% down at the hour. The falls ran from 0.5% (Bitcoin Cash) to 3.1% (Avalanche), and nearly all were between 1.2% and 2.9%. The recap now says so.
• Levels at a time: the Fed recap of 23 March 2020 said Bitcoin was almost 7% higher by 12:15 UK. At 12:15 it was 3.4% higher. It reached almost 7% by 12:20. The US CPI recap of 11 May 2022 said Bitcoin was back within 1% of its starting price by 15:00 UK. At 15:00 it was 1.3% down, and it got back within 1% by 15:05. Eight recap summaries gave times five minutes early, because they used the start of the five-minute candle in which it was reached (US CPI 18 January 2017 and 10 February 2022; Fed 22 March 2023 and 1 May 2024; jobs reports 9 March 2018, 5 March 2021, 7 January 2022 and 11 February 2026).
• Chart order: twelve recap bar charts were not in order of size. They are now ranked.

3 November 2026: checks before publishing

Every recap is now checked against its data before it goes live. The first full check found these, which we have corrected:

• Wrong figures: after the Fed's cut to zero on 15 March 2020, Ether rose 11.0% in the first hour, not 11.1% (Fed, 13 December 2017). After the July 2022 CPI report, Bitcoin rose 4.7% in the first hour, not 4.6% (US CPI, 13 September 2022). After the jobs report of 3 May 2024 it rose 3.6%, not 3.5% (jobs report, 7 June 2024). After the jobs report of 3 April 2026 it fell 0.6%, not 0.7% (jobs report, 8 May 2026).
• Links to other releases: the Fed recap of 12 June 2024 linked "May CPI report" to its own page. It now links to that CPI release. The jobs recap of 7 May 2021 now links the April CPI report it mentions. Where a recap compares with a release that has no recap of its own, it now links to that release in the event's table (jobs reports 5 April 2019, 7 June 2024 and 8 May 2026; Fed 13 December 2017; US CPI 13 September 2022).
• Which coin was weakest: the jobs recap of 7 February 2025 said Ether was the weakest coin over the day. Over the 24 hours after the release, Chainlink fell further (5.3%, against Ether's 4.7%). The recap now says so.
• Counts on market pages: the chart's "of N releases" note counted the releases in that market's statistics, which could be one fewer than the releases with a usable price shown on the event pages (for example 483 against 484 for XRP on jobless claims). Both now count releases with a usable price.

3 November 2026: recaps and market pages

A second review checked every number in our recaps against the price data. We corrected these:

• US jobs report, 6 March 2026: the payroll chart's month labels were shifted by one month, and October 2025 (a fall of 105,000) was missing. The recap said February 2026 was the first fall in payrolls since early 2021. It was the second fall in five months. The 22,000 figure was August's, not September's. We also corrected the description of Bitcoin's first 15 minutes.
• Which coin led: six recaps named the wrong leader, or one that only led the coins in the chart. They now say which coin led and among which markets (US CPI 13 October 2022, 13 December 2022, 15 May 2024 and 12 June 2024; Fed 20 March 2024; jobs report 6 October 2023).
• Wrong figures: Bitcoin's first five-minute move was 0.5%, not 0.6% (US CPI 18 January 2017), and 1.9%, not 1.7% (US CPI 10 June 2022). Its 30-minute rise after the Fed on 2 November 2022 was 1.6%, not 1.7%. Dogecoin rose 3.8%, not "more than 4%", after the Fed on 1 May 2024. At 18:30 UK on 20 March 2024 Bitcoin was slightly above its release price, not below it. Bitcoin's high on 4 November 2022 was about 4%, not 3.5%.
• Comparisons with other releases: some recaps compared a release with "the June report" or "September's" without saying which one they meant, and two gave the wrong figures. Each comparison now names the release's date and links to it (jobs reports 8 July 2022, 6 October 2023, 7 June 2024 and 8 May 2026; Fed 12 June 2024; US CPI 12 June 2018; jobs report 5 April 2019).
• Moves within five minutes: two recaps described a move inside the first five minutes that the one-minute highs and lows didn't support (Fed 16 September 2026; jobs report 6 March 2026). Both now match the data.
• The pound's "4pm fix": six recaps said the pound was measured at the London 4pm fix. The figure is the Federal Reserve's New York noon rate, and the recaps now say so.
• Tables and counts: eight recap tables said they were sorted by the first hour but weren't. They are now. On some market pages (TLT and GLD) the table showed a different number of releases from the page header. Both now use the same count.
• Calendar: some upcoming UK CPI dates were missing. We now take them from the ONS page for each release, six months ahead.

3 November 2026: calendar, records and charts

• Calendar: the retail sales list included e-commerce report dates, which aren't the retail sales release. We removed them. Two Bank of England dates (17 December 2026 and 4 February 2027) and the 18 November UK CPI date were missing. We added them.
• Records: "largest of N releases since 2017" counted all releases, but the records only use releases from 2018. The count now matches.
• Coin counts: several pages gave an out-of-date number of coins. Every page now uses the same live count.
• "Only since" tags: the tag that says a market's history starts late always said 2022. It now gives each market's real first year.
• Recap details: the US CPI recap for 13 December 2022 measured SPY's four-hour move from the wrong starting price. The jobs report recap for 2 February 2024 gave the wrong time for Bitcoin turning positive (15:35 UK, not about 16:30). The Fed recap for 15 March 2020 put the US stock futures open an hour early. The jobs report recap for 5 April 2019 called its move "among the larger" of 2019 when it was the largest.
• Monthly and weekly returns: month and week figures now run from the last close to the first open, the same way on every page. The 3-year and 5-year windows now use calendar years. Bitcoin's hourly data had fallen 16 hours behind, and we filled the gap.
• Labels: we made clearer which markets a figure covers, what "to Friday close" means on the week tile, the January 2018 Kraken outage, and how many releases a scatter chart plots.
