Why the visit count matters more than the percentage

Below 30 there were 0 visits, a median of 0 minutes and a longest of 0 minutes.

What this is and is not
This is a record of where one indicator sat during one completed session. It is not a forecast, and it makes no claim that any reading preceded a move. Whether crossing 70 tends to be followed by a larger move is a separate question, measured separately.
