| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 70 | 2.0% | 27 | 12 | 2 min | 5 min |
| Between 30 and 70 | 93.6% | 1,291 | 34 | 28 min | 173 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 12 times and left it 12 times, with a median stay of 2 minutes and a longest stay of 5 minutes beginning at 04:34 ET. Below 30 there were 21 visits, a median of 2 minutes and a longest of 13 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 1m bar recorded for MES on Thursday, August 6, 2026 — 1,380 bars from 00:00 to 23:59 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.
