| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 12.2% | 25 | 7 | 10 min | 35 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 60.5% | 124 | 21 | 25 min | 80 min | |

CCI measures how far price sits from its own average, scaled by typical deviation, and it is unbounded — it can reach +300 as easily as +100. The ±100 lines are a convention, not a ceiling.
Here the reading entered above +100 7 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 35. Because CCI has no upper bound, the count of separate excursions matters more here than for a 0-100 oscillator: repeated short pushes past +100 and one sustained drive to +300 can produce a similar share of the session.
