Educational reference. Measured from 44 recorded 1 minute sessions of MES (Micro E mini S&P 500), September 3 to October 23, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 1 minute Stochastics %K on MES spends 20.1% of its time above 80, 61.3% between 20 and 80 and 18.6% below 20. It enters the upper zone about 49 separate times per session and the lower zone about 49.
The most time above 80 was on October 18, 2026 (45.4% of the session). The most time below 20 was on September 6, 2026 (28.7%).
Over the last 5 sessions the Stochastics %K spent 17.6% of its time above 80 and 21.2% below 20 — less time in the upper zone than its 44 session average of 20.1%.
Stochastics places the close within the recent high low range, so 80 means the market is finishing near the top of where it has traded — a statement about position in the range, not about momentum.
In a trending market the reading can pin near 100 for hours, so the longest single visit is the number that tells you whether this was a range day or a trend day.
