Measured by Clometrix
Uniswap's volatility ratio was 3.15x, against 1.49x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 4.89x, against a typical 1.89x. 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 Uniswap moved
Uniswap was at $6.560 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.22% higher, and an hour later 2.59% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 3.51% of its price, against 1.22% 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 Uniswap about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.50x across 18, against 1.37x across 52. This one came out 5 days before the Federal Reserve's 2 November rate decision. Its own ratio of 3.15x compares with 1.50x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
Its record
Across 70 PCE releases since 2021, Uniswap's median volatility ratio is 1.48x.
How it compares
Across 69 PCE releases since 2021, Uniswap's usual price swing is 1.49x. This one was 2.12 times the usual.
Thin line: PCE's usual, 1.49x. Thick line: this release, 3.15x.

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 3.15x a lot?
For a PCE release it is exceptional: the usual is 1.49x. 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 Uniswap moved in after past PCE releases, so you can plan for the likely size of the move.
What is PCE, and why does the Fed watch it?
PCE is the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The Federal Reserve measures its 2 percent inflation goal with the PCE price index. PCE, Core PCE and Personal Income are released together at 8:30 a.m. ET and share one reaction. Their median Bitcoin price swing since 2021 is 2.03x, which places them in Tier 2.
