Data Analysis
The release
Released by the Bureau of Census on 24 April 2020 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation came in at -3.1% for March 2020, against -0.1% in February 2020. Durable goods orders excluding transportation are falling faster than before.
It arrived at the same moment as Durable Goods Orders, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
Measured by Clometrix
Bitcoin's volatility ratio was 1.24x, against 1.45x for a typical Durable Orders Ex Transportation release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.61x, against a typical 1.59x. Under 1.5x is not a reaction at all: the market barely noticed this release. 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 Bitcoin moved
Bitcoin was at $7,500.00 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.19% higher, and an hour later 0.09% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.58% of its price, against 0.89% in the hour before.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Durable Orders Ex Transportation releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Bitcoin about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.48x across 19, against 1.43x across 49. This one came out 5 days before the Federal Reserve's 29 April rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.24x compares with 1.48x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.
About Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation
The U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Durable Goods Orders report every month. Durable goods orders ex transportation reflect new orders placed with domestic manufacturers for delivery of long-lasting manufactured goods (durable goods) excluding transportation equipment in the near term or future. The change in the total value of new orders is measured and shared with the public in two releases per month: the advance report on durable goods and the manufacturers' shipments, inventories, and orders.
