Measured by Clometrix

Chainlink's volatility ratio was 1.22x, against 1.48x for a typical Durable Orders release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.71x, against a typical 1.53x. 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 Chainlink moved

Chainlink was at $18.27 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.55% higher, and an hour later 0.44% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.2% of its price, against 1.26% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Durable Orders releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Chainlink about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.48x across 20, against 1.48x across 49. This one came out 5 days before the Federal Reserve's 30 July rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.22x compares with 1.48x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 69 Durable Orders releases since 2021, Chainlink's usual price swing is 1.48x. This one was 0.83 times the usual.

What is Durable Goods Orders?

The U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Durable Goods Orders report every month. Durable goods orders reflect new orders placed with domestic manufacturers for delivery of long-lasting manufactured goods (durable goods) 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.
