Educational reference. Measured from 92 recorded 15m bars of MNG (Micro Natural Gas) on Thursday, September 10, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 6 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 30 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 18.5% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 69.6%, and below -100 for 12.0%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 18.5% | 17 | 6 | 30 min | 75 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 69.6% | 64 | 10 | 97 min | 225 min | |
| Below -100 | 12.0% | 11 | 4 | 45 min | 60 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 6 times, with a median stay of 30 minutes and a longest of 75. 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.
