Educational reference. Measured from 1320 recorded 1m bars of ZN (10-Year T-Note) on Thursday, October 1, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 95 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 2 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 20.8% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 60.4%, and below -100 for 18.9%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 20.8% | 274 | 95 | 2 min | 12 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 60.4% | 797 | 184 | 3 min | 20 min | |
| Below -100 | 18.9% | 249 | 90 | 2 min | 10 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 95 times, with a median stay of 2 minutes and a longest of 12. 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.
