Educational reference. Measured from 69 recorded 15m bars of MYM (Micro E-mini Dow) on Friday, September 18, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 4 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 75 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 30.4% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 50.7%, and below -100 for 18.8%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 30.4% | 21 | 4 | 75 min | 135 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 50.7% | 35 | 7 | 45 min | 210 min | |
| Below -100 | 18.8% | 13 | 3 | 60 min | 105 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 4 times, with a median stay of 75 minutes and a longest of 135. 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.
