Educational reference. Measured from 69 recorded 5m bars of ZN (10 Year T Note) on Sunday, October 11, 2026.
CCI crossed above 100 10 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 7 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 30.4% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 59.4%, and below -100 for 10.1%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 30.4% | 21 | 10 | 7 min | 35 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 59.4% | 41 | 12 | 12 min | 40 min | |
| Below -100 | 10.1% | 7 | 2 | 17 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 10 times, with a median stay of 7 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.
