Measured by Clometrix

Solana's volatility ratio was 3.65x, against 1.57x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 6.34x, against a typical 1.85x. 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 Solana moved

Solana was at $30.26 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.02% higher, and an hour later 2.41% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 3.07% of its price, against 1.16% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 28 October 2022 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.3% for September 2022, against 0.3% in August 2022. Prices are rising at the same pace as 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 Solana about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.58x across 17, against 1.57x across 52. This one came out 5 days before the Federal Reserve's 2 November rate decision. Its own ratio of 3.65x compares with 1.58x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone 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.
