Educational reference. Measured from 359 recorded 1m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Sunday, September 13, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 24 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 2 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 21.4% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 60.4%, and below 20 for 18.1%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 21.4% | 77 | 24 | 2 min | 14 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 60.4% | 217 | 47 | 3 min | 33 min | |
| Below 20 | 18.1% | 65 | 23 | 2 min | 9 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 2 minutes and a longest of 14. 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.
