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 82 times and left it 82 times, with a median stay of 2 minutes and a longest stay of 15 minutes beginning at 02:02 ET. Below 20 there were 63 visits, a median of 2 minutes and a longest of 16 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 80 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 Friday, September 18, 2026 — 1,020 bars from 00:00 to 16:59 ET — was classified by its Fast Stochastic reading. A visit is an unbroken run of consecutive bars in the same band. The session was complete before this page was built.
