Educational reference. Measured from 25 recorded 5 minute sessions of NQ (E mini Nasdaq 100), September 3 to October 22, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 5 minute CCI on NQ spends 23.3% of its time above 100, 58.0% between -100 and 100 and 18.7% below -100. It enters the upper zone about 14 separate times per session and the lower zone about 14.
The most time above 100 was on October 18, 2026 (45.7% of the session). The most time below -100 was on September 27, 2026 (40.8%).
Over the last 5 sessions the CCI spent 25.4% of its time above 100 and 17.6% below -100 — more time in the upper zone than its 25 session average of 23.3%.
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.
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.
