Data Analysis
Measured by Clometrix
Ethereum's volatility ratio was 3.05x, against 1.25x for a typical International Exports release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 6.99x, against a typical 1.41x. 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 Ethereum moved
Ethereum was at $1,932.47 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.76% lower, and an hour later 0.28% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.29% of its price, against 1.29% in the hour before.
The release
Released by the Bureau of Census, Bureau of Economic Analysis on 19 February 2026 at 8:30 AM EST. The International Exports in Goods and Services fell to $286.3B for December 2025, from $290.9B in November 2025.
It arrived at the same moment as International Trade Balance in Goods and Services, International Imports in Goods and Services, Initial Jobless Claims and Continued Jobless Claims, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
What made it matter
Since 2021, International Exports releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Ethereum less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.14x across 23, against 1.39x across 47. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 3.05x compares with 1.39x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
Its record
Across 70 International Exports releases since 2021, Ethereum's median volatility ratio is 1.25x.
About International Exports in Goods and Services
International Exports measures economic transactions between a nation and its trading partners, showing the amount of a country's exports for a given period. The BEA and Census Bureau reports on the U.S. balance of payments (BOP), covering goods and services that move out of the country. Economists use this information to gauge the relative strength of a country's economy.
