Educational reference. Measured from 270 recorded 5m bars of ZN (10-Year T-Note) on Monday, September 21, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 29 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 24.1% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 57.4%, and below -100 for 18.5%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 24.1% | 65 | 29 | 10 min | 40 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 57.4% | 155 | 49 | 10 min | 60 min | |
| Below -100 | 18.5% | 50 | 19 | 10 min | 30 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 29 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 40. 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.
