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 14 times and left it 14 times, with a median stay of 16 minutes and a longest stay of 151 minutes beginning at 11:06 ET. Below 20 there were 18 visits, a median of 12 minutes and a longest of 88 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 25 tends to be followed by a larger move is a separate question, measured separately.
How this was measured
Every 1m bar recorded for RTY on Friday, October 16, 2026 — 1,017 bars from 00:00 to 16:59 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.
