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 4 times and left it 4 times, with a median stay of 135 minutes and a longest stay of 200 minutes beginning at 15:50 ET. Below 20 there were 6 visits, a median of 78 minutes and a longest of 190 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 5m bar recorded for ZN on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 — 276 bars from 00:00 to 23:55 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.
