Measured by Clometrix

BNB's volatility ratio was 2.40x, against 1.77x for a typical JOLTs Job Openings release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 4.09x, against a typical 2.12x. 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.

BNB was at $218.00 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.41% higher, and an hour later 5.87% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 7.75% of its price, against 0.37% in the hour before.

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.
