How Shiba Inu reacted to Initial Jobless Claims on 15 December 2022

Measured by Clometrix

Shiba Inu's volatility ratio was 2.68x, against 1.34x for a typical Initial Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 3.29x, against a typical 1.71x. That is more than twice what this release usually does. 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 $0.000009 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was unchanged, and an hour later 0.34% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.9% of its price, against 1.13% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Department of Labor on 15 December 2022 at 8:30 AM EST. Initial Jobless Claims rose to 210K for the week ending 10th Dec, from 209K in the week ending 3rd Dec.

It arrived at the same moment as Retail Sales, Retail Sales Excluding Automobiles 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 the day after the Federal Reserve's 14 December rate decision. Its own ratio of 2.68x 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.

Questions about this page

Is 2.68x a lot?

For an Initial Claims release it is exceptional: the usual is 1.34x. Each report has its own usual size, and its releases show it.

Will the next Initial Claims do the same?

Nobody can say. A forecast shows the range Shiba Inu moved in after past Initial Claims releases, so you can plan for the likely size of the move.

Do weekly jobless claims move crypto?

Weekly jobless claims have a median Bitcoin price swing of 1.52x since 2021, which places Initial Claims and Continued Claims in Tier 3. They are released at 8:30 a.m. ET. When a claims release falls on the same minute as a bigger report, such as CPI, the reaction belongs to both. Clometrix measures 296 claims releases in the record since 2021.
