Signed moves from the release price, in percent. Usual distance is the median size of the Nasdaq move at that mark across all 25 the FOMC decision releases, without its sign; the swing row compares like with like.
The first five minutes went up 0.00%. At the 16:00 ET close the Nasdaq 100 was up 0.31% from the release price, so by the measure on the the FOMC decision page this release was a trend: the close was on the same side of the release price as the 5-minute mark. That compares two moments, not the path between them.
