Educational reference. Measured from 114 recorded 10m bars of ZN (10-Year T-Note) on Monday, September 7, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 6 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 55 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 30.7% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 50.9%, and below -100 for 18.4%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 30.7% | 35 | 6 | 55 min | 80 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 50.9% | 58 | 12 | 50 min | 110 min | |
| Below -100 | 18.4% | 21 | 7 | 30 min | 60 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 6 times, with a median stay of 55 minutes and a longest of 80. 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.
