CCI crossed above 100 7 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 45 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 26.1% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 54.3%, and below -100 for 19.6%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 26.1% | 24 | 7 | 45 min | 150 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 54.3% | 50 | 11 | 45 min | 165 min | |
| Below -100 | 19.6% | 18 | 5 | 45 min | 90 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 7 times, with a median stay of 45 minutes and a longest of 150. 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.
