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 100 7 times and left it 7 times, with a median stay of 15 minutes and a longest stay of 50 minutes beginning at 07:50 ET. Below -100 there were 12 visits, a median of 15 minutes and a longest of 45 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 100 tends to be followed by a larger move is a separate question, measured separately.
How this was measured
Every 5m bar recorded for NG on Friday, September 18, 2026 — 205 bars from 00:00 to 17:00 ET — was classified by its Commodity Channel Index reading. A visit is an unbroken run of consecutive bars in the same band. The session was complete before this page was built.
