Educational reference. Measured from 135 recorded 10m bars of YM (E-mini Dow) on Tuesday, September 15, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 8 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 50 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 30.4% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 51.1%, and below -100 for 18.5%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 30.4% | 41 | 8 | 50 min | 100 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 51.1% | 69 | 13 | 60 min | 110 min | |
| Below -100 | 18.5% | 25 | 5 | 70 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 8 times, with a median stay of 50 minutes and a longest of 100. 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.
