Data Analysis
Measured by Clometrix
Bitcoin's volatility ratio was 2.57x, against 1.10x for a typical International Imports release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 3.21x, against a typical 1.22x. 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 Bitcoin moved
Bitcoin was at $71,366.16 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.22% lower, and an hour later 0.28% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.62% of its price, against 0.56% in the hour before.
The release
Released by the Bureau of Census, Bureau of Economic Analysis on 6 June 2024 at 8:30 AM EDT. The International Imports in Goods and Services rose to $339.5B for April 2024, from $331.9B in March 2024.
It arrived at the same moment as International Trade Balance in Goods and Services, International Exports 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 Imports releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Bitcoin less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 0.97x across 23, against 1.25x across 47. This one came out 6 days before the Federal Reserve's 12 June rate decision. Its own ratio of 2.57x compares with 0.97x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
Its record
Across 70 International Imports releases since 2021, Bitcoin's median volatility ratio is 1.10x.
About International Imports in Goods and Services
International Imports measures economic transactions between a nation and its trading partners, showing the amount of a country's imports for a given period. The BEA and Census Bureau reports on the U.S. balance of payments (BOP), covering goods and services that move in to the country. Economists use this information to gauge the relative strength of a country's economy.
