Educational reference. Measured from 103 recorded 10m bars of SIL (Micro Silver) on Friday, September 4, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 7 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 16.5% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 64.1%, and below -100 for 19.4%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 16.5% | 17 | 7 | 10 min | 70 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 64.1% | 66 | 12 | 55 min | 110 min | |
| Below -100 | 19.4% | 20 | 6 | 35 min | 50 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 10 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.
