Not to predict, but to learn after an event the degree of impact that the news caused, as the Richter scale of earthquakes.

The standard deviation is the closest i know, but I think it's more for volatility.

Thats what the candles on the chart will tell you
good news --> bull candle
bad news --> bearish candle

Or maybe your looking for something like Waddah Attar Explosion Indicator.
