Educational reference. Measured from 138 recorded 10m bars of ZN (10-Year T-Note) on Tuesday, September 8, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 6 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 25 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 10.9% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 58.7%, and below -100 for 30.4%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 10.9% | 15 | 6 | 25 min | 50 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 58.7% | 81 | 16 | 45 min | 110 min | |
| Below -100 | 30.4% | 42 | 9 | 40 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 6 times, with a median stay of 25 minutes and a longest of 50. 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.
