Educational reference. Measured from 52 recorded 5 minute sessions of BTCUSD (Bitcoin), September 3 to October 24, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 5 minute Stochastics %K on BTCUSD spends 18.8% of its time above 80, 64.3% between 20 and 80 and 16.9% below 20. It enters the upper zone about 12 separate times per session and the lower zone about 11.
The most time above 80 was on September 3, 2026 (27.1% of the session). The most time below 20 was on October 12, 2026 (25.0%).
Over the last 5 sessions the Stochastics %K spent 18.6% of its time above 80 and 19.7% below 20 — less time in the upper zone than its 52 session average of 18.8%.
Stochastics places the close within the recent high low range, so 80 means the market is finishing near the top of where it has traded — a statement about position in the range, not about momentum.
In a trending market the reading can pin near 100 for hours, so the longest single visit is the number that tells you whether this was a range day or a trend day.
