Measured by Clometrix

Shiba Inu's volatility ratio was 8.96x, against 3.45x for a typical Fed Interest Rate release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 30.01x, against a typical 6.81x. That is more than twice what this release usually does. 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.

What made it matter

Its own ratio of 8.96x compares with 4.49x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

What is the Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision?

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has eight regularly scheduled meetings each year, but they can meet more often if the need should arise. The meetings are not held in public and are therefore the subject of much speculation on Wall Street, as analysts attempt to predict whether the Fed will tighten or loosen the money supply with a resulting increase or decrease in interest rates.

Questions about this page

Is 8.96x a lot?

For a Fed Interest Rate release it is exceptional: the usual is 3.45x. Each report has its own usual size, and its releases show it.

Will the next Fed Interest Rate do the same?

Nobody can say. A forecast shows the range Shiba Inu moved in after past Fed Interest Rate releases, so you can plan for the likely size of the move.

Why does Bitcoin move when US economic data comes out?

Bitcoin often shows larger price swings in the minutes after major US economic reports. Those reports change expectations about interest rates, inflation and economic growth. Clometrix measures the size of the resulting price swings, not their direction. Tier 1 reports such as CPI, Core CPI and Core Inflation have a median Bitcoin price swing of 4.29x since 2021.

Which US economic reports move crypto the most?

The reports with the largest median Bitcoin price swings since 2021 are CPI, Core CPI and Core Inflation at 4.29x, the Fed Interest Rate at 4.24x, and Non-Farm Payrolls together with Non-Farm Private Payrolls and the Unemployment Rate at 3.20x. These are Tier 1. Clometrix sets tiers from the median Bitcoin price swing since 2021. Tier 1 means at least 3 times an ordinary 15 minutes.

Does Ethereum react to US data the same way Bitcoin does?

Ethereum's median price swings since 2021 are close to Bitcoin's for most reports. For CPI, Core CPI and Core Inflation the median is 4.37x for Ethereum and 4.29x for Bitcoin. For the Fed Interest Rate it is 4.08x versus 4.24x.

What time does the Fed announce its interest rate decision?

The Federal Reserve announces its interest rate decision at 2:00 p.m. ET. Clometrix measures the 15 minutes from that statement. The median Bitcoin price swing for the Fed Interest Rate since 2021 is 4.24x across 47 releases. Clometrix shows each release in the reader's own time zone.

Does Clometrix measure the Fed chair's press conference?

No. Clometrix measures the 15 minutes from the 2:00 p.m. statement. It does not measure the press conference separately. The Fed Interest Rate has a median Bitcoin price swing of 4.24x since 2021.
