Data Analysis
Measured by Clometrix
Chainlink's volatility ratio was 2.90x, against 1.43x for a typical Initial Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 9.47x, against a typical 1.63x. 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 Chainlink moved
Chainlink was at $36.08 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.5% higher, and an hour later 4.79% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 6.68% of its price, against 5.21% in the hour before.
The release
Released by the Department of Labor on 10 November 2021 at 8:30 AM EST. Initial Jobless Claims fell to 251K for the week ending 6th Nov, from 262K in the week ending 30th Oct.
It arrived at the same moment as Consumer Price Index, Core Consumer Price Index, Core Inflation Rate 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 Chainlink about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.45x across 93, against 1.38x across 208. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 2.90x compares with 1.38x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
Its record
Across 301 Initial Claims releases since 2021, Chainlink's median volatility ratio is 1.43x.
About Initial Jobless Claims
The weekly claims report is released Thursdays at 8:30 a.m. ET by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Initial claims are new jobless claims filed by U.S. workers seeking unemployment compensation, included in the unemployment insurance weekly claims report. The report, published since 1967, includes a separate count of workers receiving unemployment insurance benefits, known as continuing claims.
