The release
Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 21 December 2018 at 10:00 AM EST. The Personal Income and Outlays came in at 0.3% for November 2018, against 0.3% in October 2018. Personal income is still rising, but more slowly than before.
It arrived at the same moment as Personal Consumption Expenditures and Core Personal Consumption Expenditures, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
Measured by Clometrix
Cardano's volatility ratio was 1.36x, against 1.90x for a typical Personal Income release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.11x, against a typical 2.40x. Under 1.5x is not a reaction at all: the market barely noticed this release. 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 Cardano moved
Cardano was at $0.0428 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.75% lower, and an hour later 3.72% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 5.1% of its price, against 4.23% in the hour before.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Personal Income releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Cardano about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 2.00x across 17, against 1.88x across 52. This one came out 2 days after the Federal Reserve's 19 December rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.36x compares with 1.88x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.
How it compares
Across 69 Personal Income releases since 2021, Cardano's usual price swing is 1.90x. This one was 0.72 times the usual.
Thin line: Personal Income's usual, 1.90x. Thick line: this release, 1.36x. Under 1.5x counts as no reaction at all.

Every coin at this release
What is the Personal Income and Outlays?
Personal Income measures the change in the total value of income received from all sources by consumers. Income is closely correlated with consumer spending, which accounts for a majority of overall economic activity.Questions about this page
Is 1.36x a lot?
No. Under 1.5x the market barely noticed the release.
Will the next Personal Income do the same?
Nobody can say. A forecast shows the range Cardano 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.
