Educational reference. Measured from 71 recorded 5m bars of ES (E-mini S&P 500) on Sunday, September 13, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 5 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 15 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 29.6% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 45.1%, and below 20 for 25.4%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 29.6% | 21 | 5 | 15 min | 60 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 45.1% | 32 | 9 | 10 min | 45 min | |
| Below 20 | 25.4% | 18 | 4 | 22 min | 30 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 5 times, with a median stay of 15 minutes and a longest of 60. 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.
