| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 14.1% | 10 | 2 | 25 min | 25 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 49.3% | 35 | 5 | 35 min | 65 min | |
| Below -100 | 36.6% | 26 | 5 | 15 min | 70 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 2 times, with a median stay of 25 minutes and a longest of 25. 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.
