Sharp Rises On The Morning Of A Fed Meeting
The large gap up this morning is quite unusual on the day of a Fed meeting. I ran a test back to 1983 to find other times the market was significantly higher at 1:30pm Eastern time on the day of a Fed meeting. I was only able to find 3 other times where the market was up at least 1.5% by 1:30. On 8/21/84 the market tacked on another 0.04% in the afternoon. On 12/18/84 it added another 1.37%, and on 1/5/88 it lost 0.64%.

rob,
curious if you have any studies on 4% + s$p moves as far as returns next 1,3,5 , 10 and 30 days ?
Impressive. I don't see intraday analyses backtested like you have. Keep it up!
