ADA Volatility Analysis for Import Prices, 14th December 2022

Data Analysis

Measured by Clometrix

Cardano's volatility ratio was 2.01x, against 1.07x for a typical Import Prices release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.26x, against a typical 1.34x. 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 Cardano moved

Cardano was at $0.3121 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.42% lower, and an hour later unchanged. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.58% of its price, against 0.42% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 14 December 2022 at 8:30 AM EST. The Import Price Index came in at -0.8% for November 2022, against -0.3% in October 2022. Import prices are falling faster than before.

It arrived at the same moment as Export Price Index, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Import Prices releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Cardano less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.00x across 27, against 1.20x across 42. This one came out on the day of the Federal Reserve's 14 December rate decision. Its own ratio of 2.01x compares with 1.00x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Its record

Across 69 Import Prices releases since 2021, Cardano's median volatility ratio is 1.07x.
