Educational reference. Measured from 92 recorded 15m bars of YM (E-mini Dow) on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 1 separate time during the session, and the typical visit lasted 60 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 4.3% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 54.3%, and below -100 for 41.3%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 4.3% | 4 | 1 | 60 min | 60 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 54.3% | 50 | 8 | 90 min | 195 min | |
| Below -100 | 41.3% | 38 | 7 | 90 min | 135 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 1 time, with a median stay of 60 minutes and a longest of 60. 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.
