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 97 times and left it 97 times, with a median stay of 3 minutes and a longest stay of 11 minutes beginning at 07:54 ET. Below -100 there were 80 visits, a median of 3 minutes and a longest of 8 minutes.

Same reading, previous session: NQ 1m Commodity Channel Index, August 11, 2026
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 1m bar recorded for NQ on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 — 1,380 bars from 00:00 to 23:59 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.
