Educational reference. Measured from 275 recorded 5m bars of ES (E-mini S&P 500) on Thursday, October 1, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 24 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 15 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 32.7% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 50.5%, and below 20 for 16.7%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 32.7% | 90 | 24 | 15 min | 80 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 50.5% | 139 | 39 | 10 min | 120 min | |
| Below 20 | 16.7% | 46 | 16 | 15 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 24 times, with a median stay of 15 minutes and a longest of 80. 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.
