CCI crossed above 100 3 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 15 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 8.7% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 57.6%, and below -100 for 33.7%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 8.7% | 8 | 3 | 15 min | 90 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 57.6% | 53 | 13 | 45 min | 180 min | |
| Below -100 | 33.7% | 31 | 10 | 45 min | 90 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 3 times, with a median stay of 15 minutes and a longest of 90. 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.
