Educational reference. Measured from 1262 recorded 1m bars of ZN (10-Year T-Note) on Tuesday, October 6, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 90 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 2 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 19.8% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 60.5%, and below -100 for 19.7%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 19.8% | 250 | 90 | 2 min | 15 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 60.5% | 763 | 170 | 3 min | 17 min | |
| Below -100 | 19.7% | 249 | 80 | 3 min | 9 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 90 times, with a median stay of 2 minutes and a longest of 15. 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.
