Educational reference. Measured from 103 recorded 10m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Friday, September 11, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 11 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 20 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 35.0% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 56.3%, and below 20 for 8.7%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 35.0% | 36 | 11 | 20 min | 110 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 56.3% | 58 | 16 | 30 min | 90 min | |
| Below 20 | 8.7% | 9 | 4 | 20 min | 40 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 11 times, with a median stay of 20 minutes and a longest of 110. 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.
