Educational reference. Measured from 276 recorded 5m bars of ES (E-mini S&P 500) on Thursday, September 10, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 14 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 13.8% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 54.7%, and below 20 for 31.5%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 13.8% | 38 | 14 | 10 min | 35 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 54.7% | 151 | 43 | 10 min | 70 min | |
| Below 20 | 31.5% | 87 | 29 | 10 min | 45 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 14 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 35. 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.
