Measured by Clometrix
Litecoin's volatility ratio was 2.43x, against 1.34x for a typical Durable Orders release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.24x, against a typical 1.42x. 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 Litecoin moved
Litecoin was at $76.67 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.07% higher, and an hour later 0.33% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.85% of its price, against 0.77% in the hour before.
The release
Released by the Bureau of Census on 23 December 2025 at 8:30 AM EST. Durable Goods Orders came in at -2.2% for October 2025, against 0.5% in September 2025. Durable goods orders are falling, after a rise.
It arrived at the same moment as Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation and Gross Domestic Product Report, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Durable Orders releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Litecoin about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.24x across 20, against 1.41x across 49. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 2.43x compares with 1.41x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

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.Questions about this page
