The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 30 April 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Income and Outlays came in at 0.6% for March 2026, against -0.1% in February 2026. Personal income is rising again, after a fall.

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

How XRP moved

XRP was at $1.3700 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was unchanged, and an hour later unchanged. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.73% of its price, against 0.73% in the hour before.

Measured by Clometrix

XRP's volume ratio was 1.56x, against a typical 1.95x. Its volatility ratio could not be measured: the price barely moved through the rest of the day, so there is no ordinary quarter hour to compare against. The ratio compares the quarter hour of the release with an ordinary quarter hour that same day, where 1.00x is no change.

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 the day after the Federal Reserve's 29 April rate decision.

Its record

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