Data Analysis
The release
Released by the Bureau of Census on 16 November 2021 at 8:30 AM EST. Retail Sales came in at 1.5% for October 2021, against 0.7% in September 2021. Retail sales are rising faster than before.
It arrived at the same moment as Retail Sales Excluding Automobiles, Import Price Index and Export Price Index, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
Measured by Clometrix
Ethereum's volatility ratio was 1.43x, against 1.43x for a typical Retail Sales release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.11x, 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 $4,255.56 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.65% higher, and an hour later 1.43% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.93% of its price, against 1.33% in the hour before.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Retail Sales 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 1.43x compares with 1.43x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.
About Retail Sales
The U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Retail Sales report every month. It is a measure of consumer spending, an important indicator of the US GDP. Retail firms provide data on the dollar value of their retail sales and inventories. A sample of 12,000 firms is included in the final survey and 5,000 in the advanced one. The advanced estimated data is based on a subsample from the USCB complete retail & food services sample.
