SOL Volatility Analysis for Non-Farm Payrolls, 6th August 2021

Data Analysis

The release

Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 6 August 2021 at 8:30 AM EDT. The economy added 931K jobs for July 2021, according to Non-Farm Payrolls, after a gain of 796K in June 2021.

It arrived at the same moment as Non-Farm Private Payrolls and Unemployment Rate, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

Measured by Clometrix

Solana's volatility ratio was 0.85x, against 2.77x for a typical Non-Farm Payrolls release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.05x, against a typical 4.45x. Under 1.5x is not a reaction at all: the market barely noticed this release. 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 Solana moved

Solana was at $37.23 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.4% lower, and an hour later 0.64% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 2.04% of its price, against 1.77% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Non-Farm Payrolls releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Solana about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 2.72x across 21, against 2.81x across 49. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 0.85x compares with 2.81x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.

About Non-Farm Payrolls

Nonfarm payrolls is the measure of the number of workers in the U.S. excluding farm workers and workers in a handful of other job classifications. This is measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which surveys private and government entities throughout the U.S. about their payrolls. The BLS reports the nonfarm payroll numbers to the public on a monthly basis through the closely followed “Employment Situation” report.
