Measured by Clometrix

Shiba Inu's volatility ratio was 1.96x, against 1.34x for a typical Initial Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.26x, 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 $0.000024 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.65% lower, and an hour later 1.06% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.68% of its price, against 2.17% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Department of Labor on 24 March 2022 at 8:30 AM EDT. Initial Jobless Claims fell to 207K for the week ending 19th Mar, from 217K in the week ending 12th Mar.

It arrived at the same moment as Durable Goods Orders, Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation 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 was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 1.96x compares with 1.30x 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

Across 279 Initial Claims releases since 2021, Shiba Inu's usual price swing is 1.34x. This one was 1.47 times the usual.
