Measured by Clometrix

XRP's volatility ratio was 3.90x, against 1.81x for a typical Personal Income release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 4.08x, against a typical 1.95x. 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 XRP moved

XRP was at $0.4001 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was unchanged, and an hour later 0.72% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.8% of its price, against 0.77% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 1 December 2022 at 8:30 AM EST. The Personal Income and Outlays came in at 0.7% for October 2022, against 0.6% in September 2022. Personal income is rising faster than before.

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

What made it matter

Since 2021, Personal Income releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved XRP less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.50x across 17, against 1.93x across 50. This one came out 13 days before the Federal Reserve's 14 December rate decision. Its own ratio of 3.90x compares with 1.50x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Its record

Across 67 Personal Income releases since 2021, XRP's median volatility ratio is 1.70x.

How it compares

Across 66 Personal Income releases since 2021, XRP's usual price swing is 1.81x. This one was 2.15 times the usual.

Questions about this page

Is 3.90x a lot?

For a Personal Income release it is exceptional: the usual is 1.81x. Each report has its own usual size, and its releases show it.

Will the next Personal Income do the same?

Nobody can say. A forecast shows the range XRP moved in after past Personal Income 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.
