CCI crossed above 100 7 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 15 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 14.4% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 63.3%, and below -100 for 22.2%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 14.4% | 13 | 7 | 15 min | 60 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 63.3% | 57 | 13 | 60 min | 120 min | |
| Below -100 | 22.2% | 20 | 7 | 30 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 7 times, with a median stay of 15 minutes and a longest of 60. 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.
