Educational reference. Measured from 204 recorded 5m bars of ZN (10-Year T-Note) on Friday, October 2, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 12 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 12 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 16.7% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 65.7%, and below -100 for 17.6%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 16.7% | 34 | 12 | 12 min | 35 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 65.7% | 134 | 24 | 25 min | 65 min | |
| Below -100 | 17.6% | 36 | 11 | 15 min | 50 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 12 times, with a median stay of 12 minutes and a longest of 35. 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.
