Educational reference. Measured from 138 recorded 10m bars of YM (E-mini Dow) on Tuesday, September 8, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 4 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 40 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 9.4% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 65.9%, and below -100 for 24.6%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 9.4% | 13 | 4 | 40 min | 40 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 65.9% | 91 | 17 | 40 min | 170 min | |
| Below -100 | 24.6% | 34 | 12 | 20 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 4 times, with a median stay of 40 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.
