Measured by Clometrix
Internet Computer's volatility ratio was 2.74x, against 1.46x for a typical Continued Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.83x, against a typical 1.60x. That is a strong reaction by this release's own standard. 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.
How Internet Computer moved
Internet Computer was at $4.140 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.21% higher, and an hour later 1.93% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 2.42% of its price, against 1.21% in the hour before.
The release
Released by the Department of Labor on 26 November 2025 at 8:30 AM EST. Continued Jobless Claims fell to 1939K for the week ending 15th Nov, from 1960K in the week ending 8th Nov.
It arrived at the same moment as Durable Goods Orders, Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation and Initial Jobless Claims, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Continued Claims releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Internet Computer about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.51x across 86, against 1.32x across 192. This one came out 14 days before the Federal Reserve's 10 December rate decision. Its own ratio of 2.74x compares with 1.51x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
Its record
Across 278 Continued Claims releases since 2021, Internet Computer's median volatility ratio is 1.46x.
How it compares
Across 278 Continued Claims releases since 2021, Internet Computer's usual price swing is 1.46x. This one was 1.88 times the usual.
Thin line: Continued Claims's usual, 1.46x. Thick line: this release, 2.74x.

What is Continued Jobless Claims?
The weekly claims report is released Thursdays at 8:30 a.m. ET by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Continued claims, also referred to as insured unemployment, is the number of people who have already filed an initial claim and who have experienced a week of unemployment and then filed a continued claim to claim benefits for that week of unemployment. Continued claims data are based on the week of unemployment, not the week when the initial claim was filed.Questions about this page
Is 2.74x a lot?
For a Continued Claims release it is strong: the usual is 1.46x. Each report has its own usual size, and its releases show it.
Will the next Continued Claims do the same?
Nobody can say. A forecast shows the range Internet Computer moved in after past Continued Claims releases, so you can plan for the likely size of the move.
Do weekly jobless claims move crypto?
Weekly jobless claims have a median Bitcoin price swing of 1.52x since 2021, which places Initial Claims and Continued Claims in Tier 3. They are released at 8:30 a.m. ET. When a claims release falls on the same minute as a bigger report, such as CPI, the reaction belongs to both. Clometrix measures 296 claims releases in the record since 2021.
