Educational reference. Measured from 138 recorded 10m bars of NG (Natural Gas) on Tuesday, September 15, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 10 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 30 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 25.4% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 58.0%, and below -100 for 16.7%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 25.4% | 35 | 10 | 30 min | 80 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 58.0% | 80 | 16 | 35 min | 140 min | |
| Below -100 | 16.7% | 23 | 6 | 40 min | 60 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 30 minutes and a longest of 80. 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.
