| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 70 | 1.8% | 5 | 1 | 25 min | 25 min |
| Between 30 and 70 | 89.9% | 248 | 6 | 160 min | 490 min |

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 1 times and left it 1 times, with a median stay of 25 minutes and a longest stay of 25 minutes beginning at 10:25 ET. Below 30 there were 4 visits, a median of 5 minutes and a longest of 100 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 ES on Tuesday, September 1, 2026 — 276 bars from 00:00 to 23:55 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.
