Measured by Clometrix

Shiba Inu's volatility ratio was 2.01x, against 1.33x for a typical Initial Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 3.89x, against a typical 1.72x. 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 $0.000014 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.42% lower, and an hour later 0.28% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.84% of its price, against 1.05% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Department of Labor on 22 August 2024 at 8:30 AM EDT. Initial Jobless Claims rose to 232K for the week ending 17th Aug, from 228K in the week ending 10th Aug.

It arrived at the same moment as 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 about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.48x across 88, against 1.29x across 198. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 2.01x compares with 1.29x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Its record

Across 286 Initial Claims releases since 2021, Shiba Inu's median volatility ratio is 1.33x.

How it compares
