Educational reference. Measured from 71 recorded 5m bars of MYM (Micro E-mini Dow) on Sunday, September 20, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 5 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 20 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 29.6% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 60.6%, and below -100 for 9.9%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 29.6% | 21 | 5 | 20 min | 35 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 60.6% | 43 | 7 | 20 min | 70 min | |
| Below -100 | 9.9% | 7 | 2 | 17 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 5 times, with a median stay of 20 minutes and a longest of 35. 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.
