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 25 7 times and left it 7 times, with a median stay of 85 minutes and a longest stay of 210 minutes beginning at 02:05 ET. Below 20 there were 6 visits, a median of 45 minutes and a longest of 130 minutes.

Same reading, previous session: MNQ 5m ADX, October 7, 2026
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 25 tends to be followed by a larger move is a separate question, measured separately.
How this was measured
Every 5m bar recorded for MNQ on Thursday, October 8, 2026 — 276 bars from 00:00 to 23:55 ET — was classified by its ADX reading. A visit is an unbroken run of consecutive bars in the same band. The session was complete before this page was built.
