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 70 1 times and left it 1 times, with a median stay of 20 minutes and a longest stay of 20 minutes beginning at 10:45 ET. Below 30 there were 1 visits, a median of 5 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 70 tends to be followed by a larger move is a separate question, measured separately.
