Under the Hood

How It Works

CCI calculates the deviation of the typical price from its SMA, scaled by the mean absolute deviation. It has no fixed bounds but typically oscillates between -100 and +100.

In Practice

How Traders Use It

Readings above +100 may indicate overbought; below -100 may indicate oversold. CCI can spot divergences and trend beginnings when it crosses above or below zero.
