| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 23.9% | 22 | 7 | 45 min | 90 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 53.3% | 49 | 14 | 52 min | 135 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 7 times, with a median stay of 45 minutes and a longest of 90. 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.
