Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 17 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 26.3% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 61.5%, and below 20 for 12.2%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 26.3% | 54 | 17 | 10 min | 35 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 61.5% | 126 | 32 | 15 min | 120 min | |
| Below 20 | 12.2% | 25 | 14 | 7 min | 25 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 17 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.
