Educational reference. Measured from 69 recorded 15m bars of MYM (Micro E-mini Dow) on Friday, September 11, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 6 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 60 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 39.1% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 56.5%, and below -100 for 4.3%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 39.1% | 27 | 6 | 60 min | 120 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 56.5% | 39 | 9 | 60 min | 165 min | |
| Below -100 | 4.3% | 3 | 2 | 22 min | 30 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 60 minutes and a longest of 120. 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.
