| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 38.3% | 105 | 28 | 12 min | 80 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 50.7% | 139 | 39 | 10 min | 85 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 28 times, with a median stay of 12 minutes and a longest of 80. 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.
