| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 28.2% | 20 | 6 | 15 min | 40 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 53.5% | 38 | 9 | 25 min | 50 min | |
| Below -100 | 18.3% | 13 | 3 | 20 min | 25 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 6 times, with a median stay of 15 minutes and a longest of 40. 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.
