| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 28.4% | 58 | 19 | 10 min | 45 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 60.8% | 124 | 25 | 15 min | 85 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 19 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 45. 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.
