| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 21.5% | 57 | 17 | 10 min | 55 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 57.4% | 152 | 38 | 15 min | 60 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 17 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 55. 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.
