Educational reference. Measured from 69 recorded 5m bars of ZN (10-Year T-Note) on Sunday, September 27, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 2 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 5 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 2.9% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 78.3%, and below -100 for 18.8%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 2.9% | 2 | 2 | 5 min | 5 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 78.3% | 54 | 6 | 15 min | 130 min | |
| Below -100 | 18.8% | 13 | 4 | 15 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 2 times, with a median stay of 5 minutes and a longest of 5. 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.
