ETH Volatility Analysis for Retail Sales Ex Autos, 1st April 2019

Data Analysis

The release

Released by the Bureau of Census on 1 April 2019 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Retail Sales Excluding Automobiles came in at 1.2% for February 2019, against 0.0% in January 2019. Retail sales excluding autos are rising faster than before.

It arrived at the same moment as Retail Sales, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

Measured by Clometrix

Ethereum's volatility ratio was 1.10x, against 1.43x for a typical Retail Sales Ex Autos release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 0.82x, against a typical 1.51x. 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 Ethereum moved

Ethereum was at $142.46 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.06% higher, and an hour later 0.17% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.39% of its price, against 0.51% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Retail Sales Ex Autos releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Ethereum about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.39x across 27, against 1.43x across 43. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 1.10x compares with 1.43x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.
