CCI crossed above 100 9 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 20 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 13.8% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 50.7%, and below -100 for 35.5%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 13.8% | 38 | 9 | 20 min | 55 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 50.7% | 140 | 35 | 15 min | 80 min | |
| Below -100 | 35.5% | 98 | 25 | 15 min | 45 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 9 times, with a median stay of 20 minutes and a longest of 55. 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.
