Educational reference. Measured from 138 recorded 10m bars of RTY (RTY) on Thursday, October 8, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 8 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 40 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 23.2% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 57.2%, and below -100 for 19.6%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 23.2% | 32 | 8 | 40 min | 70 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 57.2% | 79 | 15 | 50 min | 130 min | |
| Below -100 | 19.6% | 27 | 6 | 35 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 8 times, with a median stay of 40 minutes and a longest of 70. 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.
