$SPX Last two FOMC's in Oct and Dec visualized.
Some things to keep in mind:
1) All 6 FOMC's this year on the 2nd day when they announce rate hikes or not, the SPX was red that day. 4 of the 6 were quite large red days too.
2) Notice 5 of the 6 FOMC's (ex April's) we had either a dip heading into the FOMC or we had a dip post FOMC. Meaning there's volatility surround the event. April was the only one where it just kept trending higher pre and post FOMC.
3) November is a super strong bullish month. And I wouldn't really want to get ahead of the Santa Rally / Post T-Giving rally either.
4) Which basically means there is only a window left next month. October or bust for the bears for rest of 2026.
