| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 31.9% | 44 | 11 | 30 min | 150 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 51.4% | 71 | 20 | 30 min | 100 min | |

The fast line is the unsmoothed version of the same range calculation, so it reaches the extremes far more often than the smoothed %K and leaves them sooner.
Here the reading entered overbought territory 11 times, with a median stay of 30 minutes and a longest of 150. The gap between this page's visit count and the smoothed Stochastics page for the same session is a direct measure of how much the smoothing removes.
