QQQ FOMC events tend to trigger volatility & meaningful price moves in QQQ/NDX — making the first few trading days after announcements especially important
• Historically, QQQ shows a mildly mixed 1 day reaction to FOMC announcements, but a consistent negative drift over the following 3-5 sessions, with median returns of –0.87% (day 3) & –0.72% (day 5), reflecting post-event volatility compression & mean-reversion
The deeper dive lays out 3 forward paths for QQQ (dovish, base case & hawkish), each with projected levels & expected volatility decay over the first 5 sessions post-FOMC, so if interested, see the link in my profile
