How NEAR Protocol reacted to the Personal Consumption Expenditures on 28 January 2022

Measured by Clometrix

NEAR Protocol's volatility ratio was 1.94x, against 1.43x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.42x, against a typical 1.95x. 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 $10.180 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.57% higher, and an hour later 2.36% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 3.34% of its price, against 1.67% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 28 January 2022 at 8:30 AM EST. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.6% for December 2021, against 0.7% in November 2021. Prices are still rising, but more slowly than before.

It arrived at the same moment as Personal Income and Outlays and Core Personal Consumption Expenditures, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved NEAR Protocol less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.03x across 17, against 1.52x across 49. This one came out 2 days after the Federal Reserve's 26 January rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.94x compares with 1.52x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Across 66 PCE releases since 2021, NEAR Protocol's median volatility ratio is 1.43x.
