Educational reference. Measured from 130 recorded 10m bars of YM (E-mini Dow) on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 8 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 20 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 26.2% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 53.8%, and below -100 for 20.0%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 26.2% | 34 | 8 | 20 min | 140 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 53.8% | 70 | 14 | 40 min | 110 min | |
| Below -100 | 20.0% | 26 | 6 | 35 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 20 minutes and a longest of 140. 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.
