How Cardano reacted to the Personal Income and Outlays on 29 July 2022

Hardly a reaction. In the 15 minutes after the figure came out, Cardano's price swung 1.48 times as much as in a normal 15 minutes that day. For a Personal Income release, 1.90 times is usual. An hour later the price was 0.17% higher.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 29 July 2022 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Income and Outlays came in at 0.5% for June 2022, against 0.4% in May 2022. Personal income is rising faster 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 1.48x, against 1.90x for a typical Personal Income release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.23x, 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 $0.5194 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.77% lower, and an hour later 0.17% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.58% of its price, against 2.66% 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 27 July rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.48x 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 0.78 times the usual.

Thin line: Personal Income's usual, 1.90x. Thick line: this release, 1.48x. Under 1.5x counts as no reaction at all.

Questions about this page

Is 1.48x 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.
