| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 15.9% | 57 | 19 | 2 min | 7 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 62.7% | 225 | 55 | 2 min | 19 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 2 minutes and a longest of 7. 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.
