| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 22.8% | 21 | 2 | 157 min | 255 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 60.9% | 56 | 8 | 75 min | 315 min | |
| Below -100 | 16.3% | 15 | 5 | 45 min | 75 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 2 times, with a median stay of 157 minutes and a longest of 255. 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.
