| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 29.3% | 27 | 7 | 75 min | 90 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 46.7% | 43 | 13 | 30 min | 165 min | |
| Below -100 | 23.9% | 22 | 7 | 45 min | 120 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 7 times, with a median stay of 75 minutes and a longest of 90. 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.
