How Aptos moved
Aptos was at $5.960 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.17% higher, and an hour later 1.34% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 2.52% of its price, against 3.36% in the hour before.
Measured by Clometrix
Aptos's volatility ratio was 1.91x, against 1.70x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 4.14x, against a typical 2.60x. That is about 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.

This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 1.91x compares with 1.70x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.

What is the Personal Consumption Expenditures?
Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is a measure of the prices people in the United States pay for goods and services. PCE accounts for about two-thirds of domestic spending and is a significant driver of gross domestic product (GDP). An estimated total of personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis as one way to measure and track changes in the prices of consumer goods over time.Questions about this page
Is 1.91x a lot?
For a PCE release it is ordinary: the usual is 1.70x. Each report has its own usual size, and its releases show it.
Will the next PCE do the same?
Nobody can say. A forecast shows the range Aptos moved in after past PCE releases, so you can plan for the likely size of the move.
