CCI crossed above 100 18 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 27.9% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 55.4%, and below -100 for 16.7%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 27.9% | 62 | 18 | 10 min | 55 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 55.4% | 123 | 32 | 15 min | 55 min | |
| Below -100 | 16.7% | 37 | 14 | 10 min | 40 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 18 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 55. 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.
