Educational reference. Measured from 71 recorded 5m bars of MYM (Micro E-mini Dow) on Sunday, September 13, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 3 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 30 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 23.9% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 57.7%, and below -100 for 18.3%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 23.9% | 17 | 3 | 30 min | 45 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 57.7% | 41 | 5 | 45 min | 65 min | |
| Below -100 | 18.3% | 13 | 3 | 20 min | 25 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 3 times, with a median stay of 30 minutes and a longest of 45. 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.
