Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 18 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 7 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 16.3% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 49.3%, and below 20 for 34.4%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 16.3% | 45 | 18 | 7 min | 35 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 49.3% | 136 | 43 | 10 min | 60 min | |
| Below 20 | 34.4% | 95 | 27 | 10 min | 70 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 18 times, with a median stay of 7 minutes and a longest of 35. 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.
