Systematic Momentum: A New Class of Price Patterns

We uncover a new price pattern: The stock systematic component exhibits momentum. This systematic momentum further yields a return momentum: Stocks sorted by systematic component have persistent positive returns. In comparison with the extremely popular and extensively studied momentum sorted by return, which is valid only monthly, our systematic return momentum holds intraday, daily, weekly, and monthly. Furthermore, our systematic momentum, the strongest ever discovered, is different from the factor momentum sorted by factor performance. This paper was accepted by Kay Giesecke, finance. Funding: S.
