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 18.9% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 61.1%, and below -100 for 20.0%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 100 | 18.9% | 52 | 18 | 10 min | 30 min | |
| Between -100 and 100 | 61.1% | 168 | 43 | 15 min | 85 min | |
| Below -100 | 20.0% | 55 | 24 | 10 min | 25 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 30. 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.
