Educational reference. Measured from 35 recorded 5 minute sessions of MES (Micro E mini S&P 500), September 3 to October 21, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 5 minute CCI on MES spends 20.9% of its time above 100, 58.8% between -100 and 100 and 20.3% below -100. It enters the upper zone about 14 separate times per session and the lower zone about 16.
The most time above 100 was on October 11, 2026 (37.1% of the session). The most time below -100 was on October 7, 2026 (33.0%).
Over the last 5 sessions the CCI spent 17.8% of its time above 100 and 23.8% below -100 — less time in the upper zone than its 35 session average of 20.9%.
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.
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.
