Educational reference. Measured from 205 recorded 5m bars of ES (E-mini S&P 500) on Friday, September 4, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 11 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 16.1% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 54.6%, and below 20 for 29.3%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 16.1% | 33 | 11 | 10 min | 30 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 54.6% | 112 | 30 | 15 min | 80 min | |
| Below 20 | 29.3% | 60 | 19 | 10 min | 50 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 10 minutes and a longest of 30. 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.
