Educational reference. Measured from 92 recorded 15m bars of MYM (Micro E-mini Dow) on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 10 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 45 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 33.7% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 45.7%, and below -100 for 20.7%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 33.7% | 31 | 10 | 45 min | 105 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 45.7% | 42 | 12 | 45 min | 150 min | |
| Below -100 | 20.7% | 19 | 2 | 142 min | 165 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 10 times, with a median stay of 45 minutes and a longest of 105. 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.
