Measured by Clometrix
Shiba Inu's volatility ratio was 6.26x, against 3.45x for a typical Fed Interest Rate release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 10.06x, against a typical 6.81x. 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 Shiba Inu moved
Shiba Inu was at $0.000033 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 2.43% higher, and an hour later 2.25% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 4.22% of its price, against 2.49% in the hour before.
The release
Released by the Federal Open Market Committee on 15 December 2021 at 2:00 PM EST. The Federal Open Market Committee held its target range for the federal funds rate at 0.00–0.25%.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Fed decisions that changed the rate have moved Shiba Inu more than those that held it: a median volatility ratio of 4.49x across 18, against 2.60x across 26. This one held it. Its own ratio of 6.26x compares with 2.60x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
Its record
Across 44 Fed Interest Rate releases since 2021, Shiba Inu's median volatility ratio is 3.45x.
How it compares
Across 44 Fed Interest Rate releases since 2021, Shiba Inu's usual price swing is 3.45x. This one was 1.82 times the usual.
Thin line: Fed Interest Rate's usual, 3.45x. Thick line: this release, 6.26x.

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 6.26x a lot?
For a Fed Interest Rate release it is strong: 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.

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?
