| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 33.3% | 23 | 10 | 22 min | 120 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 55.1% | 38 | 12 | 37 min | 120 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 10 times, with a median stay of 22 minutes and a longest of 120. 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.
