| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 9.8% | 9 | 1 | 135 min | 135 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 54.3% | 50 | 8 | 97 min | 180 min | |
| Below -100 | 35.9% | 33 | 8 | 52 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 1 time, with a median stay of 135 minutes and a longest of 135. 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.
