Measured by Clometrix

Dogecoin's volatility ratio was 2.54x, against 1.52x for a typical Personal Income release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.84x, against a typical 2.33x. 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 Dogecoin moved

Dogecoin was at $0.080120 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.07% lower, and an hour later 0.06% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.76% of its price, against 0.74% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 28 April 2023 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Income and Outlays came in at 0.5% for March 2023, against 0.6% in February 2023. 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.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Personal Income releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Dogecoin about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.51x across 17, against 1.54x across 52. This one came out 5 days before the Federal Reserve's 3 May rate decision. Its own ratio of 2.54x compares with 1.51x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Its record

Across 69 Personal Income releases since 2021, Dogecoin's median volatility ratio is 1.52x.

How it compares

Across 69 Personal Income releases since 2021, Dogecoin's usual price swing is 1.52x. This one was 1.67 times the usual.
