How Polkadot moved

Measured by Clometrix
Polkadot's volume ratio was 1.44x, against a typical 1.29x. Its volatility ratio could not be measured: the price barely moved through the rest of the day, so there is no ordinary quarter hour to compare against. The ratio compares the quarter hour of the release with an ordinary quarter hour that same day, where 1.00x is no change.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Durable Orders releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Polkadot about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.16x across 20, against 1.27x across 48. This one came out on the day of the Federal Reserve's 29 April rate decision.
Its record
Across 68 Durable Orders releases since 2021, Polkadot's median volatility ratio is 1.27x.

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.Disclaimer
