Measured by Clometrix
NEAR Protocol's volatility ratio was 2.05x, against 1.57x for a typical JOLTs Job Openings release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 3.90x, against a typical 2.25x. 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 NEAR Protocol moved
NEAR Protocol was at $2.630 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.14% lower, and an hour later 0.38% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 3.04% of its price, against 1.9% in the hour before.
The release
Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 1 April 2025 at 10:00 AM EDT. The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey fell to 7.48M for February 2025, from 7.762M in January 2025.
What made it matter
Since 2021, JOLTs Job Openings releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved NEAR Protocol about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.57x across 25, against 1.56x across 42. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 2.05x compares with 1.56x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
Its record
Across 67 JOLTs Job Openings releases since 2021, NEAR Protocol's median volatility ratio is 1.57x.
How it compares

What is the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey?
The job openings and labor turnover survey (JOLTS) is a monthly report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor counting job vacancies and separations, including the number of workers voluntarily quitting employment. The BLS surveys more than 20,000 businesses and government offices to estimate the numbers of U.S. job vacancies, hires, and separations included in the monthly jobs report. The job separations numbers are subdivided into three categories: quits, or voluntary resignations; layoffs and discharges; and other separations, which include deaths and retirements. The number of vacancies is a widely followed indicator of labor demand, while the quits rate is partly a function of employment demand. Job hires and separations can be used to gauge labor turnover.Questions about this page
