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.
Here the reading entered overbought territory 5 times, with a median stay of 30 minutes and a longest of 60. 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.
