Measured by Clometrix

Shiba Inu's volatility ratio was 2.24x, against 1.34x for a typical Initial Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.80x, against a typical 1.71x. 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 $0.000026 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.35% lower, and an hour later 1.16% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.66% of its price, against 1.2% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Department of Labor on 6 June 2024 at 8:30 AM EDT. Initial Jobless Claims rose to 229K for the week ending 1st Jun, from 221K in the week ending 25th May.

It arrived at the same moment as International Trade Balance in Goods and Services, International Imports in Goods and Services, International Exports in Goods and Services and Continued Jobless Claims, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Initial Claims releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Shiba Inu more than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.50x across 86, against 1.30x across 193. This one came out 6 days before the Federal Reserve's 12 June rate decision. Its own ratio of 2.24x compares with 1.50x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Its record

Across 279 Initial Claims releases since 2021, Shiba Inu's median volatility ratio is 1.34x.

How it compares
