according to gap guy,
since 1998 there have been 30 down gaps on FOMC announcement day.

all 30 filled same day.

this was in his free video, but I have been busy on other projects and didn't even look at the video until I read your comment, sorry.

I should also note that even though close from Monday was 25.75 and that is (I'm pretty sure) the price the gapguy uses, many swinging big money will look to the 4:00 close from Monday, and that was 24.50 (filled).

Good point and we have certainly had a reaction from 24.50.
