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 80 17 times and left it 17 times, with a median stay of 4 minutes and a longest stay of 31 minutes beginning at 18:03 ET. Below 20 there were 4 visits, a median of 2 minutes and a longest of 5 minutes.

What this is and is not
This is a record of where one indicator sat during one completed session. It is not a prediction, and it makes no claim that any reading preceded a move. Whether crossing 80 tends to be followed by a larger move is a separate question, measured separately.
How this was measured
Every 1m bar recorded for MNQ on Sunday, October 18, 2026 — 359 bars from 18:01 to 23:59 ET — was classified by its Stochastic Oscillator reading. A visit is an unbroken run of consecutive bars in the same band. The session was complete before this page was built.
