Educational reference. Measured from 1289 recorded 1m bars of ZN (10-Year T-Note) on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 100 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 2 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 20.0% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 61.8%, and below -100 for 18.2%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 20.0% | 258 | 100 | 2 min | 10 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 61.8% | 796 | 200 | 3 min | 21 min | |
| Below -100 | 18.2% | 235 | 99 | 2 min | 11 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 +100 100 times, with a median stay of 2 minutes and a longest of 10. 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.
