Educational reference. Measured from 266 recorded 1m bars of ZN (10-Year T-Note) on Sunday, September 20, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 26 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 2 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 21.4% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 68.0%, and below -100 for 10.5%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 21.4% | 57 | 26 | 2 min | 8 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 68.0% | 181 | 44 | 3 min | 18 min | |
| Below -100 | 10.5% | 28 | 18 | 1 min | 3 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 26 times, with a median stay of 2 minutes and a longest of 8. 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.
