Why the visit count matters more than the percentage
A share of the session says how much time a reading spent in a band. It does not say whether that time came as one sustained stretch or as repeated brief excursions. Here the reading entered the zone above 70 3 times and left it 3 times, with a median stay of 15 minutes and a longest stay of 30 minutes beginning at 05:40 ET. Below 30 there were 8 visits, a median of 15 minutes and a longest of 40 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.
How this was measured
Every 5m bar recorded for CL on Friday, September 18, 2026 — 204 bars from 00:00 to 16:55 ET — was classified by its Relative Strength Index reading. A visit is an unbroken run of consecutive bars in the same band. The session was complete before this page was built.
