Measured by Clometrix

Solana's volatility ratio was 1.17x, against 1.32x for a typical Durable Orders release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.30x, against a typical 1.33x. 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.

This one came out 8 days before the Federal Reserve's 4 May rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.17x compares with 1.22x for those, about what its circumstances 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.
