Measured by Clometrix

Dogecoin's volatility ratio was 9.80x, against 1.76x for a typical JOLTs Job Openings release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 11.97x, against a typical 2.36x. 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 Dogecoin moved

Dogecoin was at $0.065161 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 6.77% lower, and an hour later 7.27% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 10.59% of its price, against 10.32% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 6 April 2021 at 10:00 AM EDT. The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey rose to 7.752M for February 2021, from 7.204M in January 2021.

What made it matter

Since 2021, JOLTs Job Openings releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Dogecoin about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.79x across 25, against 1.74x across 44. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 9.80x compares with 1.74x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

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.
